What do you need to know there isn't much to it.

I'm assuming he wants the dates and pay out schedule. The current one runs Dec - Feb for a March payout. The next runs Mar-May with a June payout.

You have to have finished your probation before the quarter runs. So if you were hired in January, your first bonus starts on March - May with a June payout.

That's how I understand it atleast.

Will forced upgrades still get said retention bonus? I’m guessing not.

Ha, that’s funny.

But, if you make it into your upgrade quarter, and make it more than 50% though that period, it will be prorated.

No slam on you HoustonPilot....you were answering a question....You get forced to upgrade .....then ....not receive the FO retention bonus. What a screw job....lol. We are such suckers! Do you think the employees at Facebook or Google or anywhere in the corporate business environment would get this kind of deal? I’ll answer for you....no. I’ve been there. You would get the full year retention bonus plus your new pay. The longer I’m here the better I understand the union is managements best friend. When I was in business I now wish my employees where union....could have paid them less and forced them to do what I wanted instead of paying them EXTRA to show up and do it. We have amateurs doing what professionals should be doing....the fix is in!

As far as any new contract...no more working off something management hands us...shift the paradigm....we hand them a contract we write that reflects the realities of the current business environment. Fix it all.

Watch how the union koolaid drinkers **** on this.

For those of you who think you are getting profit sharing calculated on your bonuses:

"What are eligible earnings?
Most types of pay are considered eligible earnings, but there are special cases that aren’t included. This list isn’t all inclusive, but it does break down the most common types of pay.

Eligible:
Base pay
Overtime
Premium pay
Change of shift or shift swaps
Shift differentials
Vacation pay
Sick time
License premiums

Ineligible:
Incentive payments (such as Performance Bonus Plan payouts and bonuses)
Commissions (such as AAdvantage Cash and Barclays Crew Cash)
Previous award payouts (such as previous profit sharing payouts)"

LOL...I love the sentiment and would love if that's how it could work in the real world.
