EMA Bonus

[Samantha.]

I know we don't get bonuses next year but do we still get the one this month?
If yes, have you been told when your getting it?
My college is usually good at telling us things but hasn't said anything to us so I'm just curious.

[Cosmic]

Apparently, our college's goes in on the 15th.

Do you think it could be different for different colleges?
My friend goes to a different college to what I do but he got his bonus last week!

[Cosmic]

Yeah I have a friend who's bonus went in last week so I'm guessing different colleges put them in at different times.

[Samantha.]

Okay thankyou for your help :)
+rep

[Shar]

What does your attendance have to be in order to get your bonus?

[StripedTiger]

ive already recieved my ema bonus.

[Catchy]

Yeh this will be our last bonus, you will get it for this month if you meet the criteria. I didn't get mine /cry

[Robbie]

Still not got mine. I've not been told when they're being paid or if I meet the criteria.

[JackBuddy]

Bonus? For what? Attending college like everyone else?

[Shar]

Yeah...they cut it for next year so :rolleyes:

[Describe]

I got a £150 bonus two weeks back!

[Samantha.]

We only get £100 twice a year and I hopefully should be getting mine soon..

[Charlottay!]

I had mine a couple of weeks ago! right before last ema payment

[Hecktix]

just found mine in my bank :D

[CJW93]

Ema makes me sick! Paying people to go to college is a ******* joke! Give it to everyone or no one

[JackBuddy]

We only get £100 twice a year and I hopefully should be getting mine soon..
lol. on top of £30 a week too.

That's about 20 hours work for normal people who pay their own way.

[Neversoft]

Here we go again...

Only? You should count yourself lucky you get any at all!

Agreed.

Agreed.

[Samantha.]

I think either everybody should get it or noone! Yes I get EMA but I still don't think it's fair.

[Special]

i think it's fair

why give a child 30/20/10 pound a week if there parents are on 30 grand+ a year? no need.

[Samantha.]

That's true, but there parents might not necessarily give them money I suppose.

[Melsia]

I think it's fair too, some people need the money. I agree a lot of people who get it also don't but it's nice for those who do need it!
Back onto the topic, which was rudely changed, mine hasn't gone in yet :(

[Dinosaurawrr]

i got my bonus spent it already
and yeah everyone should get it tbh

[jackass]

Don't be so naive to think that parents are just going to give their children £30/week just like that. I don't know ANYONE that does that as a replacement for EMA.

"For those who need it" - We are all doing the same courses, same transport etc. so i'm under the impression that we all need it. :S

[Samantha.]

But if you have parents earning over 30 grand i'm sure they pay for transport and also equipment?

[Bailey]

I don't know where this "Your parents earn 30k+ a year you get everything you want" attitude comes from..

[jackass]

But if you have parents earning over 30 grand i'm sure they pay for transport and also equipment?

How? I didn't.

And i'm not the only one.

[Shar]

I haven't got my bonus yet :'(

[The Don]

I'm not entitled to EMA when I start sixth form in september, so my parents are setting a direct debit of £30 into my bank as they think it's unfair loads of my mates get it ;) and I'd imagine it goes in at different times for different areas and colleges...

[Alkaz]

At my school the went in on this Thursday just gone. My school never just gives it to everyone though and that goes for the weekly £10/20/30. They check to make sure you've no unauthorized absences other wise you don't get it lol, same with this bonus.

My college does this as well, but I always go to college :')! I think I should of had it by now though.

[Stephen!]

Got mine this morning.

[Robbie]

Still waiting for mine lala

[Samantha.]

I'm still waiting for mine too, is there like a last day for it to go in if that makes sense?

[Melsia]

Dw, Im still waiting for mine too! Hopefully this Friday or the Friday after - the Friday after is when I get my last payment of the year so maybe then?

[Samantha.]

So I take it if I don't get it before then, i'm not getting it!

[CJW93]

I hope it never comes through

[Samantha.]

why? :S

[buttons]

[Samantha.]

[MzKx]
