Need to know exact way to calculate mid-year and December bonuses

9 years ago
Hello -

We hired our housekeeper/cook from our landlord (we pay her now directly ourselves). I can't seem to get a straight answer on how to calculate the July and December bonus amounts, especially since her wages changed during the January - June period and she only started working for us in early April.

Does anyone know the proper way to calculate the bonus amounts? I've heard everything from being told to pay only Q250 per month the domestic worked for us, to "just pay them double in July".
