Yes, I know this is old, but I've been busy so cut me a break! Anyway, we get 75% of normal license pay while in license class and it goes up once you qualify. But the license "bonus" isn't a one time a year payment. Our bonus is around $18k per year and that is basically divided up into an "hourly" rate. So, if you even if you work overtime instead of a straight 40hr week, the bonus still figures into every paycheck as an extra $9 per hour, which makes it really sweet come outage time!
