Do you have to wait till Sept for bonus payout if you leave MSFT after July 1 ?

Anybody left recently ? I got a deposit in my account, not sure if it's the bonus or something else. For folks who've left Microsoft after July 1 (after bonus lock-in) when did you actually receive the bonus pay out ?

Why would they give a bonus? Isn’t there a requirement that employees have to be on payroll at the time of payout to receive a bonus?

July 1st is eligibility cutoff for current year bonus, paid in first September paycheck.

Yes 15sept makes sense since everyone gets it then.

What? My manager didn’t tell me what my bonus would be. Do they tell you prior to 9/15 payout? I joined after 9/15/2017 though

Yes. Expect a conversation in mid August

What’s the best way to approach that conversation? It’s my first one, and I want to a get a grasp of how to navigate it.. Thanks!

From your post, it sounds like you are guaranteed to get the yearly bonus even if you leave MS after July 1?

Do you know of anyone not receiving it - when leaving after July 1st ? Unless the manager is an a*****e.

No, I don’t. Im curious if anyone has successfully received the bonus or not.
