Good news: More workers than ever may be getting a bonusnext year.
A report released in August by human resources services firm Aon Hewitt showed more than 90 percent of companies surveyed increased the amount of money set aside for performance-based bonuses in 2015.
While workers may celebrate getting a boost of cash that's outside of salaried compensation in the coming year, it's more important than ever for individuals to put this money to work for retirement rather than think of it as money that's above and beyond normal income.
