[quote=Anonymous]This is 10:47- I just called DH and asked him this question (mostly because I was curious about the answer.) He said all bonuses are withheld until return from any kind of leave (this is big law firm). The reasoning is that bonuses are not earned compensation, but rather a reward for current employees based on how profitable the firm was last year. If the firm wasn't profitable, there would be no bonuses. The point of them is to motivate people to work hard going forward and feel good about the place where they work. So, in essence, you have to be working to be in a position to be motivated. I guess the thought is that if you return from leave, the money would still be motivating to you and if you don't, the company doesn't really care about motivating you. However, the flaw in that logic is if they lose employees who feel put out by having to wait and don't return when they might have done so. Interesting.[/quote]
