I can't believe I'm even responding to a comment so mind-blowingly stupid, but here goes:
According to Merriam-Webster, pay is defined as: "something paid for a purpose and especially as a salary or wage"
So if the bonus is not pay, how come the IRS taxes it as pay (salary or wage), how come the union takes dues out of it as pay (salary or wage)?
This April, when you file your taxes, why don't you try telling the IRS the bonus isn't pay, and because it's going to expire, it shouldn't be taxed. Tell us how that works out for you.
Anyone that thinks we should accept anything less than $25.56 per hour across the board (bonus conversion at min guarantee) needs a shrink.
