Just got a notification from my ADP app that a 10k bonus is being deposited tomorrow. I’ve been at this company less than 3 months. Nobody told me about any bonus. It’s not bonus season at my company.

I’ll gladly take the money but wondering if they did it on accident?

You should let your HR know ASAP. If it is a mistake, they’ll find out eventually and if it is a mistake, you’ll have to pay it back.

The alternative would be to take the $10k, invest/gamble it, then pay it back when they ask and keep the profit 🤣

Jokes aside. Take it. Keep it aside in your account for the next six months incase they ask for it.

After that, you're free to consume or invest or save it anyhow you like.

I would put it to the side and see if anyone says anything. If after 6 months no one says anything, then spend it.

My friend got double paid (on the same check) and they noticed within 2 weeks. Its really easy to say well i didn’t notice i just spend and have all my bills on autopay. To be fair, she thought it was the salary increase and bonus due to being internally promoted

The funnier thing is this isn’t the week I get my regular pay. And this deposit has nothing with regular pay. Just says bonus

Likely a signing bonus? Check your employment agreement. Also if you truly think its in error I would report ASAP so you don’t have it included in your taxable income this year, pay taxes on it, then have to pay the $10k back next year and eat the taxes

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
