No. Bonuses are taxed differently and separate from normal income and thus tax return. 40% flushed away to the .gov automatically.

I've never had a bonus so anyway.

Kind of a shock, first time a close friend my age has lost a parent basically due to illness/old age. I called him after work and man... Just a rough thing. He's holding up surprisingly well but definitely hurting.

Not regular income so they don’t use the blended rate and instead use the highest. Sucks, but it’s more cash in my pocket than I would have without the bonus.

I've never had a typical middle class job so anyway.

Probably not the right thing to do. But ill deal with my issues later in life.

I never got a bonus before this job, so I'm mostly about the taxes. Unfortunately, it's part of my overall compensation, so I can ignore it entirely

Now imagine paying that 40% all year on all your earnings income, and then owing a shit ton more in April.

WEEK ONE
Girl was 90 minutes late for orientation....

2 days later, while on a case, her Uncle was on life support, she had to leave early....

Then He died and she needed the next two days off......

WEEK TWO
Needed off for the Funeral on Monday

Late on Monday....wait, he didn't die, her aunt lied to her because she didn't want her to lose her new job

Tuesday, while on a case, they are pulling the plug she has to leave early to say goodbye

Wednesday....gets pulled over on the way to her client. 30 minutes late

Thursday leaves her purse at home has to turn around 60 minutes late

Need Monday off for the funeral

On friday tells me the funeral is on Saturday (but I had already scheduled someone else)

WEEK THREE
Tuesday....actually works a full shift......though she did ask if she could leave early

Today: I get a text at 5am from the caregivers phone ....."We took Tracie's phone and her car today she won't be in, Her Aunts"

830 am ME: Please tell Traci that she is fired

1030 am "AUNTS": We took her phone because she pissed me off.....and her car...we made a terrible mistake. We thought she didn't make the payment but she did and my sister didn't realize it. Don't fire her, it was our fault not hers, she almost went to jail telling us she paid it and arguing. She fought her 200lb cousin and actually whooped his butt over this as well. She needs her job and loves it, this was our fault Sir or Ma'am.

1032 ME: I'm sorry but Every shift since she started has been a roller coaster ride of drama. I can't run a business this way.

12:58 "AUNTS" Blah blah blah it's not her fault...... God in Heaven, she is going to kill us when she finds out.

1:00 ME: I'm sorry but you should have thought of that before "you" jeopardized her livelihood and the well being of my client (who went unattended today). I happen to know that she has a second government issued phone, funny how she hasn't reached out to me.? I just issued her final check. I bent over backwards to be accomodating, I really did. But enough is enough.

2:42 "AUNTS" Her phones were both in the car. We are trying to find her.

3:00 ME: Good luck with that.

TL/DR Sigh, you can't make this up

Yes....sorry for the clutter.....but I put a lot of time, effort and money into recruiting and on-boarding caregivers and I really take everything I do in the business to heart...... so having to let a troubled woman go sucked donkey balls ......
