In France we have the "thirteenth month" as we call it. I never had one, but in that latest job they announced having one, so I was rather chuffed to finally discover the practice and asked them about it during the interview. "so you gonna give me a full month salary bonus at the end of the year?" cue a long, convoluted explanation... which boiled down to "no, we just shuffle shit around so you get more in December, no extra money, really".
But it just shows how ingrained that idea of a Christmas bonus is.
Belgium, "13th month" also exists here. And it being a legal thing, i wonder if this is what people mean when they talk about work bonus on the other side of the world.
Its, afaik, the same as a pay before tax, but the tax is higher than with an actual paycheck. Doesnt mean it isnt a nice chunk of money ( 70-80% of a paycheck )
