Have you guys ever had an annual bonus being prorated?

Joined this company earlier in the year (months before cut off to qualified) and was surprised to see my bonus being prorated. Obviously, my goals were not and got 'meet expectations'.

I've never seen that in 10+ working for 5 different companies. Either you fully qualify, or you don't. Nothing in-between.

It’s always prorated for me. I just negotiate a bunch of sign on bonuses to cover the loss + a few years down the road.

yes

We prorate as well. Join in March, the midpoint of our fiscal year, and you’ll get half the bonus you otherwise would based on your salary.

My first year was pro-rated. As I expected it to be.

Happened to me my first year at PwC - I was surprised at first, but it makes sense if you think about it.

You get the portion of the bonus you were around for and in theory contributed to.

What were your goals? Maybe you’re also not overperforming your goals, which is also standard given that new people generally need a year to start making a big impact.

Not overperforming but reaching the target, which were not prorated.

Yes, I think this is pretty common in many companies.

We prorate bonuses. But we are Guidehouse.

Literally every time?

Every of the times

If you didn’t work the full year, why are you surprised that it’s prorated?

The goals were worth 12 months. First time I have a bonus earned over time worked, it was always performance based. This is the difference between based salary and bonus 🤷‍♂️

Yes at large banks
