Tender your resignation "after" you have received your bonus.

Yes correct bcg1. Appreciate the tips from all of you.
Yes they can.
Wait until the date has passed (and $ is fully earned) then give notice.

Thanks - Am a foreigner so this is helpful
Wait till the 1 year mark passes, then put in your 2 week notice.
Yes. You giving notice is a courtesy. Employer can choose to end the employment any time from when notice is given.

My employment agreement specifies a certain notice period is required (so not a curtesy)
Agree with everyone else, I’d wait until the cash is in the bank. You’re only talking about the difference of two weeks.
Got it. I think the same logic applies regardless of the notice requirements.
We’re walking folks out the day they tender notice right now given the market. They’re being paid out for two week regardless of the notice length but their term date is immediate.
The same could potentially happen for you and I wouldn’t want to put a bonus in jeopardy to find out.

Yes
I tendered resignation before a bonus last year. I thought it was a month before, and was walking away from the bonus. I was leaving toxic culture for awesome culture, so it was worth it.
Ends up bonus was paid early, so pay day was my last day. They paid me 40%. I asked the CFO about it, and he didn’t have a good answer. I waited until I had the 20k in the bank then I fought for the rest. A lawyer friend gave me advice, then a former boss and friend helped me craft a letter. Letter turned into a short phone call with head of HR and then I got paid. The bonus was owed to me per offer letter.
If you are owed money, in writing, go for it.
