Subject to the provisions of this sub-clause, an employer must pay an employee an annual bonus as follows:
| 6.7.1 | 20 working days' pay |
| 6.7.2 | Where existing agreements provide for bonuses in excess of that provided for in sub-clause 6.7.1 above, such existing agreements shall prevail. |
| 6.7.3 | An employee who is employed in a year in which a bonus amount is to be paid and who has been continuously so employed for at least 3 months, but for less than one full year, shall be entitled to a pro rata bonus payment. |
| 6.7.4 | An employee whose employment is terminated through no fault of his or her own, through retrenchment, retirement, disability, or death, shall be entitled to a pro rata bonus payment. |
| 6.7.5 | No bonus payment shall be made to employees whose employment was terminated by reason of misconduct. |
| 6.7.6 | Year-end (annual) bonus will not accrue to an employee for any unauthorised absence. |
| 6.7.7 | Calculation of accrual reduction upon unauthorised absenteeism - (Example:an employee is absent without authorisation for 5 days and works 9 ordinary hours on 5 days per week: |
| (a) | 5 days x 9 hours = 45 hours |
| (b) | bonus: (235 working days x 9 hours) = 2115 total hours |
| (c) | bonus accrual factor: 180 hours / 2155 total hours = 0.085 (bonus accrual per hour worked) |
| (d) | 45 hours (see clause 6.7.7(a)) x 0.085 (accrual factor) = 3.825 hours |
| (e) | task grade 1: R39.81 x 3.825 hours = R152.27 (bonus reduction amount) |
