Just to clarify: Better if the employees had received pay raises over the past years instead of a one-time bonus.

Of course, maybe the employer did not have the financial resources to do this in the past. It has always been my personal belief that end-of-year bonuses (especially large ones) just mean you were underpaid all along. Of course exceptions to this abound: performance based compensation (e.g., sales) where the final tally may not be known until the end of the year. But this did not seem to be the case in the above example.
