You can make sure your employees take home the full $500 by running a grossed-up bonus through payroll.
If you run a standard $500 bonus, your employees will receive less than that after payroll withholdings.
With a grossed-up bonus, you increase the total payment to cover those withholdings so your employee still takes home $500.
But that also means your business will spend more than $500 per employee.
Before promising a specific take-home amount, calculate the full cost of the bonus, including the required withholdings. Then you can budget for what you'll actually spend.
