Christmas Bonus Application Form: €100 Template
“`html
Christmas Bonus of 100 Euros Approved
The Christmas bonus of 100 euros has been approved and is available in addition to the thirteenth month salary, contingent on the submission of a request by the eligible employee.
Money.it’s experts have prepared a template that workers can use to request the 100 euro bonus, which will be adjusted based on the employment months in 2024.
However, it is advisable to wait a few months before submitting this request to ensure that one meets all eligibility requirements.
There is a risk that if the bonus is granted despite the recipient’s income exceeding the legal limit, the employer will recover the amount during reconciliation, typically in January payslips.
Bonus Christmas 100 Euros Request Form
Below is the template for the Christmas bonus request, which employees need to fill out, sign, and submit to their employer to request the application of the 100 euros in the December payslip, along with the thirteenth month salary.
The first section should include personal details.
The employee must declare a 2024 income below 28,000 euros.
It is important to note that all sources of income are considered, not just the salary, excluding the primary residence.
Additionally, workers should ensure that their tax liability on employment income is greater than their eligible deductions.
Consequently, those in the no-tax area, earning below 8,500 euros annually, will not qualify.
Moreover, an eligible spouse (not legally separated) and at least one dependent child must also be declared.
The spouse’s income should not exceed 2,840.51 euros.
Different limits apply for children over 24 years old, while those under 24 have a higher threshold of 4,000 euros.
Important Note on Compliance
When submitting the form, employees take responsibility for the accuracy of their claims.
Providing false information to obtain the bonus may lead to repercussions, including penalty charges and possible recourse for the employer to reclaim the bonus from future payslips.
Claiming the Bonus Later
It is crucial to note that the bonus can also be claimed later through the Revenue Agency rather than through payroll.
Those who fear exceeding the income threshold can opt to wait until the 2025 tax declaration to recover any funds not received through payroll.
