A good firm will have better bonuses for better performers. A lazy firm just does equal % bonuses across the board.
Rising Star
Of course, that’s the whole point of a bonus.
In front office roles it’s pretty normal to see some people get 20% of base pay as a bonus and top performers get 120%
At Freddie Mac, underperformers got 90ish% of their bonus targets. Average performers got 100 to 120% of target. High performers got as much as 170%
Do you mean different ranges for different employees in the same role/title? Or high performers coming in at the high end of the range?
Long answer:
Usually the way it works…there are standards across the board for each level. Usually if someone is a top performer and the firm does well, they receive a higher bonus. If they perform well and the firm does poor, they might receive a bonus on par or slightly below standard, depending on firm performance. If the employee is performing poorly and the firm does well, they might receive a smaller bonus. If the employee performs poorly and the firm performs poorly, they might be terminated.
Short answer:
Really depends on firm and how they value their employees.
