Government taxes the shite out of bonus. Way higher than your salary rate


Wrong

If I signed a 2-year Promissory Note for a sign-on bonus and then decide to quit said job prior to 2 years, I have to pay up, correct? Guy I work with is telling me an employer cannot demand this money back, but that seems entirely inaccurate to me.


Most places that offer a sign on bonus will require you to stay for a certain length of time, although enforcing that can be an issue, so now they are saying that they will give you a bonus for working there for a year or 2, but will give you the bonus early (at initiation of employment)in the form of a loan that will be dismissed if you work there for the requisite time period

Right.. so yeah I signed a Promissory for 2 years to receive a "bonus" which was taxed as normal income. Now I have decided to quit (after only about 8 months). I'm responsible for paying back the pre-taxed amount right?
