The bank will hand out $1,000 payouts in December to employees who earn $100,000 or less per year. Those who earn between $100,000 and $350,000 will be offered 200 to 500 restricted stock units in the first quarter of 2020, according to an internal announcement.
The bonuses will apply to 95 percent of the company’s staff, Chief Executive Officer Brian Moynihan, wrote in the memo, suggesting the bank’s success is partly why the payouts are possible: “A critical part of our commitment to making Bank of America a great place to work is our ongoing focus on recognizing achievements and sharing success.
