Hi General Motor folks, Please could you let me know what happens to my annual bonus if I quit before Dec or before receiving my performance feedback (in feb or Mar)? Will it get void or I would still receive it? Is it safe to discuss this with our HR ?
Unless it's somewhere written in your contract, they are not obligated to pay out a bonus check after you have quit.
Did you end up getting the check/bonus?
The only ways to get the bonus while leaving before payout is if you are retiring or if you are being laid off via GM’s severance package (requires release form signatures). If you quit before payout, you won’t get the bonus.
A. Don’t discuss this with HR B. When did they payout your bonus last year? If you leave before that payout date, there’s no chance you’re getting the bonus.
This year I received the bonus some time suring March. I am thinking of putting down the papers at the end of the year.
Then you will not get the bonus if you leave in December.
