Porsche announced today that this month will offer a 1.700 Euro bonus to every full time employee who joined the company on or before 1 August 2010. Porsche says is the way they want to thank their employees for helping them have a very successfully 2010 financial year (from 1 August to 31 December 2010). The bonus was decided on by Porsche's Board of Management and Group Works Council.
By way of emphasis, Uwe Hück, Chairman of the Group Works Council, said: We, the employee representatives, were able to reach agreement with the employer on this impressive amount of 1.700 Euro for the five-month short financial year. The special payment, excluding any special items, has never been so high. This is a
tremendous success. We were also able to secure an improvement in the self-funded retirement scheme. That is fantastic for our colleagues’ provision for their own future. We are very proud of that.
Porsche's announcement of the bonus comes on a very unfortunate, April 1st, day. Let's hope it's not a very cruel April Fool's Day prank played on the people working there.
