I occasionally receive bonuses from my company and I’ve noticed that social security contributions are deducted from these bonuses. Is this correct or is my employer making a mistake in deducting these?

Bonuses (including anniversary bonuses, performance-based bonuses and employee loyalty bonuses) are counted as part of your salary for social security purposes. Your employer acted correctly in applying social security deductions.
