What is this for?

An employee bonus payment letter is a document that confirms the details of a bonus payment made to an employee by their employer.

This letter is typically sent to the employee to acknowledge the bonus payment and to provide information on the amount of the bonus, the reason for the bonus, and any other relevant details. The purpose of the letter is to formally recognise the employee's contribution to the company and to motivate them to continue their hard work.

It is also a way for the employer to communicate the terms and conditions of the bonus payment and to ensure that there are no misunderstandings or disputes regarding the payment.
