Can bonuses be included in the Living Wage rate?

Only guaranteed non-deferred payments can be included in the Living Wage rate.

This means guaranteed bonus payments can be included. Examples of guaranteed bonuses are a time away from home allowance, or an inner city weighting allowance. Non-guaranteed payments such as productivity or sales related bonuses cannot be included, except in specific cases where the hourly wage of the worker is guaranteed.
