and
Kaufland
belong, is said to have already paid out several bonuses in 2020 and 2021, according to a dpa report.
The discounter
Aldi Süd

dm
there were Corona special payments.

Haven't received a Corona bonus yet?
If you don't get a corona bonus by the end of March 2022, it will probably be tight to get hold of a special payment.
For employees of certain industries and companies, however, there is still a legitimate chance of a Corona bonus.
By the way, these professions currently offer the best salaries.
