they need to pay the bonuses from something!
Looks like they might amortize the bonuses over the year though?
Aren't bonuses usually tied to base pay?
that bonus is your pay. the salary is just sweat equity. i've been tricked by this before.
Not to sound miserly, but how is this a bonus for the employee whatsoever?
Someone earned their bonus here.
Can you elaborate more on the bonuses? Is bonus based income common for these sorts of companies?
What about giving them bonuses as well?
Sounds similar to employers who pay contracted bonuses late, don't pay if you quit before the bonus date, and use bonuses to make up for reduced salaries.
It is not uncommon for recruiters to specify the expected value of bonuses as part of selling the position. If the bonuses are subsequently slashed, this feels bad, even though you don't have it guaranteed by your contract.
