I still don't believe bonus is straight time anywhere. We had a guy in our center think it was straight time. Apparently never made any. I would like to see a check stub as proof. Moving faster to make less money makes no sense.
Ok, suppose you work 7.5 hours one day, then you go home. The computer decides that you should have taken 9.0 hours to do that work. (In my building) You would get paid 0.5 hours at straight time, and 1.0 hours at time and a half... Just like you had actually done the work.
The thing with bonus is you don't really make more money, you (supposedly) make the same money but get to go home sooner.
And, I've seen a lot of people fired over doing stupid stuff to make bonus. I was part of a group of guys who tried to vote it out of our center a few years ago, we didn't suceed but we tried.
In some Centers the drivers claim all bonus is straight time. A 10 hour day done in 9 would be 8 straight, 1 time and a half and 1 straight (bonus). You would lose half an hour pay by running bonus. I agree it's not really a bonus, just being paid by the load.
Although that last hour is straight time, and you do lose half an hour of pay, you are being paid for an hour while you are not working.
