Completed 20 years of service with my company today, £200 in vouchers and a certificate. Need a new tv so that'll help.

All I got for achieving 10 years was a letter and five extra days off (they were added incrementally one every two years not all at once). Handy for booking more golf days though.

5 extra days after 12, 14, 16 etc, or before you got to 10?

Military service also counts towards my civil service employment so went straight onto 30 days leave instead of 25 then 1 day extra for next 5

No, it's a day every two years from the start, so once I got to 10 years I had 5. It stops there, 5 is the max.
I got £600 for 20 years service. Think they paid out at 10 & 15 years too.

A Raymond Weil watch for 10 years service in 1996.
I've been thinking about putting it on Ebay to raise some funds to buy more classic golf clubs.

£200 after 5 years. £400 after 10 and £600 after 15. I left last year 1 month before I was due my £800 bonus. I used to lose some of it in tax anyway.

still waiting on the bar to arrive. But it’s looking a very likely possibility at the moment that I could end up with a 2nd bar
Though the civil service idea of immediate extra days is appealing!
Edit: though I may just tap out at 30 if I can’t see a reason to stay that bit extra just for a 2nd bar.

I never worked for one company long enough to get one.
At least my last company gave me a years salary as a redundancy payment which paid off the mortgage +

38 years in local government - the last one was for 30 years with the same council. All I got was a round of applause when I finally retired.

Think I got £100 when I hit 15yrs with my last employer...but I guess my long service 'award' was the Voluntary Exit Payment they offered (and I accepted) when I was getting on for 17yrs with them.

I did think about putting that on.Was that in appreciation of your service or glad you were going?

32 years in the same building. Staff had a whip round and raised £200, two companies that were involved gave me zilch. Unfortunately it was around the time of covid.

Well my £200 vouchers didn't even last the day. 65inch LG tv for the other sitting room will be installed on the wall on Friday.

Isn't every last penny of government spending accounted for so they can't do bonuses and gifts to staff etc? Massively rubbish after that length of service.

My Mum got a 6 month paid holiday from John Lewis for 25 years service a while back!
