Bonus Payments
Generally, a bonus will become due if:
- If it’s purpose was to increase an employee’s
productivity.
- The bonus was announced to the employee prior to the
beginning of the work.
On the other hand, where the bonus pay is considered a
gift or for past services or work, the bonus generally, need
not be paid out. If the bonus must be paid out, it will
become part of the employee’s wages for the purpose of
calculating overtime.
If you believe that your bonus was wrongfully withheld or
overtime was not calculated properly, please contact my
office at (800) 417-2008. |
