  To use the spot bonus feature, employers must first set up the bonus plan in the system. This includes defining the criteria for awarding the bonus, such as performance goals or specific achievements. Once the plan is set up, employers can then award bonuses to employees who meet the criteria. The bonus amount is then added to the employee’s salary and can be paid out in cash or in kind.
