It's in a separate "special" paycheck. 401(k) deferral elections don't apply and (at least in my experience) banks will allow you to make a special election to defer (or not to) any percent of your total comp from the check. So if desired, you could not defer any of your biweekly payments and max out contributions solely from your bonus.
