A bonus from your employer is not a gift and is strictly income. It is in no way a gift and cannot be considered as such. It is income from your employment and is reported as wages on your tax return. The employer is required to pay half of the social security and medicare taxes and to deduct the other half from your bonus check. The bonus is the same as any other income and must be treated as such.

BUT for withholding, the rate you are expected to pay at is done by annualizing the income being reported. Your bonus, when annualized, would probably indicate your in a much higher income tax bracket than your weekly pay does.

Depends on Location and experience, but most start off at $34K plus bonus. It is based on an hourly pay rate in many states and the bonus structure is based on a percentage of sales and profit of the Optical. Yearly hourly pay maxes out at about $52K (with ABO and NCLE) and bonuses in an ave. store can be about 6-8K. Bonus are "gifted" and heavily taxed. Requires a commitment of 45+hours/wk.
