The bonus whose rule is known on the 1st, paid on the 30th
You write the rule once: the threshold, the rate, the split. It goes to the team on the 1st, is worked out from your figures, and the bonus lands on the 30th.

Another fortnight to go, we're nearly there. Thank you all,

Target reached: the thank you goes to the whole team
Hello everyone,
We've reached €30,000 taken this month: March's target is met. Thank you to every one of you.
As announced, the €320 bonus will be paid with your next payslip, shared pro rata to hours.
Claire, Maison Marceau
A rule known on the 1st,
a fair bonus on the 30th.
You recognise these lines
- You give bonuses on gut feeling, often at the end of the year
- You couldn't explain the amount of the last one paid
- The one who never asks for anything never gets anything
- You've already been told it wasn't fair, with no answer to give
- You put off the bonus because there's a calculation to do
You decide, step by step, what you hand over
Here's what becomes of a bonus, from the 1st to the 30th. At each step, say whether you keep doing it or Atlas® takes it on: the counters recalculate before your eyes.
The rule goes to the team on the 1st
The threshold, the rate, the split, on everyone's phone. Known before it's earned, it applies for the thirty days that follow.
The month's figures are read
The amount taken, the hours clocked, the covers, the reviews obtained. Never a score on anyone.
The calculation runs on the 30th
Line by line, shared pro rata to hours. Everyone receives the detail, not just the sum.
You approve the payment
Not one euro leaves without your approval. That's the module's red line: it calculates, you decide.
The calculation goes to your accountant
It goes into the month's payroll variables, paid with the salary. Your accountant keeps their job.
Whatever your volume

Indicative estimate, not a firm price: the exact rate is agreed with you at the assessment.
The same month of March, and you calculate nothing
The threshold, the rate, the split, on everyone's phone.
MarchToday: you say nothing. Nobody on the team knows, so nobody changes a thing.
24,800 euros taken, 17,200 still needed to trigger it.
Visible to the teamThe team sees it, and there are fifteen days left to go and get them. Today: nobody knows where the month stands. Neither do you, except by opening the till one evening, and you keep the figure to yourself.
320 euros shared pro rata to hours. Everyone receives the detail.
Line by lineToday: you decide in your head, sometimes in December. The one who claims nothing misses out.
A rule known on the 1st changes the thirty days that follow: the sale, the quote chased, the hour kept.

Up to 3,000 euros tax-free, if the rule is written down
And since 2025, from 11 to 49 employees, sharing becomes compulsory when net taxable profit reaches 1% of turnover three financial years in a row.
Tax-free per employee per year
With the value-sharing bonus, €6,000 with a profit-sharing agreement.
Bonuses at most per calendar year
Paid at most once a quarter.
End of the enhanced scheme

A surprise bonus is a nice moment one evening.
A rule known on the 1st changes the thirty days that follow.
The sale, the quote chased, the hour kept
The limits, stated up front
What it will never do
- Pay a euro you haven't approved
- Score, rank or compare your employees with each other
- Change a rule mid-month
- Calculate your payroll: that's your accountant's job
What's written in the contract
- The rule is written, dated and announced before the month
- The calculation is shown line by line, and printable for everyone
- Same situation, same rule: nobody is forgotten because they stay quiet
- Your figures stay with you, and you switch off whenever you like
A bonus is salary, subject to contributions.
