[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For jobs that require experience, higher education etc and pay about $150K or above, how much notice should you give? We have an employee giving 2 weeks and he just took 4 months paternity and just got a bonus. Thinking that is not enough, and can't do anything about it though right? Was thinking about whether we should tell people we expect 4 if possible. I may mention it in his exit interview[/quote]

1) This person has done NOTHING wrong. Two weeks is fine. Yes, if you have the flexibility (a lot of new jobs want you there ASAP), it's nice to give a little more, like 3-4 weeks, but that is the exception, not the rule, and is really going above and beyond. 
2) He earned the bonus. 
3) If you want to keep him, negotiate! Offer him more money. Companies always do whatever is in their own best interest, and yet somehow, think their employees should do what's in the company's best interest, too. No. Employees do what's in their best interest, just like you do. 
4) The fact that it's right after paternity leave is irrelevant. If this makes you mad, change the policy so that you have to work for X months after paternity leave or you owe the money back. That's what my husband's company does - 12 weeks paid, but if you leave within the year, you have to pay it back. Seems fair! You make the rules here - if they're not working for you, change them.
5) Do not bring this up in the exit interview - see #1, he didn't do anything wrong.  [/quote]
