Understanding Your Employee Bonus: What It Really Means
Daniel Kovel

The True Value of Employee Bonuses

Bonuses are not just extra cash in your paycheck; they reflect how your employer values your contribution. If your bonus was less than expected or you missed out altogether, it may indicate a shift in your employer's perspective on your role.

Signs of Change in Your Workplace

Reflect on the last 12-16 months. Have there been subtle changes, like fewer opportunities or less feedback? Reduced bonuses can sometimes signal larger, unlawful issues with you.

Your Legal Protections

It's crucial to know that laws protect employees from unfair treatment regarding compensation. Under NYC Human Rights Law, NY State Law, and Title VII of Federal Law, protections are in place against pay and bonus discrimination and retaliation. If you suspect questionable treatment, it's wise to seek advice.
