The front-line staff never see a bonus. Unfortunately, the employees who obtain the bonuses are the EX levels, and that's it.
Actually, we recently completed an ATIP request regarding the performance pay bonuses that the EX levels get. In 2017-18, the employer paid out over $1.04 million in bonuses. In 2018-19, they paid out over $1,051,477 in bonuses. For instance, the EX-1 levels, which are area directors and some of the branch directors, got over $8,000 in 2018-19. The EX-4s, which are the ADMs or the director general levels, got over $56,000 in bonuses at the end of December, which is disheartening to see.
Of course, when you do the ATIP request for the ADM for service delivery, they black it out because there's only one. I can only imagine that if the EX-4s are getting $56,000, his will be much higher.
