Advice or venting: Signed an offer letter stating I’d get my sign on bonus day 1. Didn’t get it so payroll said wait until Wednesday. I didn’t make a big fuss but got my 1st week pay yesterday (fast I know) but my bonus wasn’t included in the pay. Payroll then says I have to wait until the 30th for the bonus & my recruiter said sorry but we use the same verbiage for all offer letters with candidates who get the sign on bonus. I’m disappointed & thought I’d have it before Christmas!

No sign on bonus I’ve received (3 total now) was paid the first pay cycle.

D1 so what should I do about it? I’m pretty upset about it.

Yeah the “oh we’re just lazy in writing contracts” is bs. Don’t write it if you won’t honor it.

That being said - not much you can do unless you want to make a big stink about it. Depending on your relationship with your leadership you could mention it - I’d absolutely be concerned if my HR was doing this sort of crap as it’s a real recruitment risk.

Have received first paycheck

That I received my full sign on in the first pay period

Signing bonus are typically given after end of probation.. if you don’t have one in your offer and it states first day.. you should get it no questions asked.. not sure why the delay

Did the offer letter specifically say that you'd be paid the sign-on bonus on day one? If not, you misinterpreted the letter to your benefit, likely due to the desire to spend that money for things related to Christmas and set undue expectations.

"Get on," "awarded on," nor "entitled to on" are not synonymous with "paid on."

IBM 1: if it were promised to me at that time and I didn’t get it until later than stated, yes.

How did you tell your manager you’re pregnant? Did it affect pay/promos? And then, subsequently, how did you start letting colleagues know you’re pregnant? Feels awkward to just randomly drop the news in a meeting! I work remotely so it’s hard to tell by video :) I’m 21 weeks and feel like I’ve waited as long as I can to at least notify my manager. I was waiting to negotiate my salary for next year but per company trend that doesn’t get set until January (manager reviews are written in Dec).
