Leaving for another job but still want bonus
The bonus at my company gets paid out on February 28th where you have to be an active employee on that day to receive your bonus.
I want to refrain from asking HR but if I were to get another position and submit my two weeks notice on February 15th for example I would still be an active employee. I have heard that some companies, if leaving for the competition, will let you go right away. I think that means they send you home but you're still an active employee?
Anyone come across this situation?
