  1. May the city grant a year-end bonus to an employee if it has not been provided for in a specific policy?
    Bonuses to city employees, based on performance, may legally be given if the proper procedure is followed. It is a violation of the Washington State Constitution for a city to merely declare at the end of the year that a particular employee or class of employees will receive a year-end bonus if there has been no prior policy adopted by the city council establishing this as a compensation option.

    However, if the city establishes in a policy or a clear written statement that a bonus for performance is a potential part of the compensation package, then a year-end bonus may be awarded if in fact the employee is evaluated as having performed at the agreed upon level. This policy does not have to be established at the beginning of the calendar year, but may be established later in the year.
