When I was at Zion's, we got $50 at the end of the year.
No other bonus, nothing. Blew my mind.

What's the worst bonus you've ever received from an employer.

Sounds like an employment law violation and probably FCPA issue.

You pay on pre-tax? Holy smokes. That is the most hardline pay on gross ever.

You don't, man you must be a sinner. 😉

Isn't paying on pre-tax the definition of paying on gross?
Skeptical Optimist
12/10/18 3:26pm
It appears I'm uneducated on the terminology.
SandYFan

Yeah, and I make $20K per year.

Do you deduct the cost of your student loans from tithing?
JOPE
12/10/18 4:08pm
If I went down that rabbit hole I could justify deducting nearly everything from tithing
SuperTank
12/10/18 4:25pm
Interesting. Would you have deducted tuition, fees, textbooks, etc if you didn’t need loans?
rainorsnow
12/10/18 4:31pm
Why would somebody like you, or anyone else that makes decent income pay tithing on gross
JOPE
12/10/18 3:36pm
He didn’t pay 16x what you would have.
SuperTank
12/10/18 3:46pm
I would have paid $3.20 cents on that check

I misread his math. I thought he said “about $18” not negative $18. You’re right, I’m wrong.
SuperTank
12/10/18 6:37pm
If you get a tax refund after filing, do you pay tithing on your refund? If you owe, do you “subtract” tithing?
rainorsnow
12/10/18 3:49pm
sure, if I get a refund it is usually
JOPE
12/10/18 3:56pm
also, if I have to pay at the end of the year, which I often do
JOPE
12/10/18 4:00pm
That’s what I do too.
rainorsnow
12/10/18 4:20pm
If you think that the only reason to pay tithing is to buy your way into heaven,
Skeptical Optimist
12/10/18 3:52pm
I know what tithing is, but why pay so much more than you have to?
JOPE
12/10/18 3:57pm
If you think it is something that you "have" to pay, then you don't understand
Skeptical Optimist
12/10/18 4:07pm
Of course you have to pay it
JOPE
12/10/18 4:13pm
I don't care how you pay your tithing. I am taking issue with your post saying
Skeptical Optimist
12/10/18 4:47pm
I can't tell if your question is sincere or not
Tricky
12/10/18 4:15pm
I think you’re giving most gross payers too much credit
JOPE
12/10/18 4:34pm
He didn't pay money out of pocket when he received the bonus check
Skeptical Optimist

While the tone of your question is judgmental, I'll give you a straight answer
