Microsoft plans to give $1,500 pandemic bonus to employees worldwide

The bonuses will reportedly cost Microsoft $200 million.

Microsoft is giving employees a $1,500 pandemic bonus this year for the “unique and challenging fiscal year that Microsoft just completed,” according to a report published on Friday.

The report, which cites an internal memo, says the bonuses will be disbursed to all employees below corporate vice president level that started on or before March 31, 2021, including part-time workers and those on hourly rates. Employees based in the US, as well as internationally who meet that criteria, will be eligible for the bonus.
