I fail to see the comparison.
Assuming it is indeed a "bonus" according to Pedant Law, the employers have the right to call it that... and the employees have the right to consider it as a
valueless "bonus", on a personal level.
I think my explanation does a lot to clarify things though. There is an obvious reason why excerpts fit the definition of "bonus", and it also serves to explain why boiled confectionery "bonuses" are not.
