employees should negotiate whatever compensation they think is fair for the work they provide. bonuses and perks can be part of that, but it's probably better to just ask for a base salary that is fair

salaried employees are generally not paid by the hour, and it's rare that 40 hours a week (or any maximum) is specified in a high compensation contract. if I know that a job won't be "9-5", I'll factor that into whatever base salary I ask for

Bonuses are very rarely negotiated, but they are added by the management. It is very stupid to assume something about bonuses because I've seen it so many times that they can be unpredictable. Negotiate your salary and other perks, if you get bonuses on top of that be happy but don't except that you will get those bonuses in further negotiations.
