UNo company pays a bonus if you have put in papers, and the bonus is tied to performance, and they can always say that your performance was not adequate.
Don’t push it as you will always need positive response during background checks in future companies.

H>No company pays a bonus if you have put in papers, and the bonus is tied to performance,
I was paid. Many companies pay. Don’t normalise shitty things

SYes, I didn’t break my head without a helmet. Don’t normalise wearing a helmet.
For those who are analogy challenged, anecdotes/individual exceptions don’t make the common practice.

QWhere i work, if you are on the rolls on 1st January – notice period or not, you will get the bonus prorated to the number of months you worked.
What you mention is done by shitty companies not ethical ones.

SWhat you mentioned is rare exception. Think from company perspective? Why will they pay you more when you won’t stay with them and there is no impact of that investment in your future outcomes. World hardly works just out of pure altruistic goodwill of heart. That said, companies that do that are surely commendable.

MI quit a job 5 months in and after I had put down my papers the department announced bonus payable after end of the quarter as one project made good profits. I had worked on that project but I had put down my papers so I never expected it. Anyways I joined other company, forgot all about this. To my surprise they paid me the bonus for 5 months I worked and contributed to project.
My manager in that company would often call and ask about me. She even asked if I would like to be back after 3 yrs of quitting since the working structure had changed to what I wanted. At exit interview I gave honest feedback as to why I am quitting so fast. It was good management, just the working structure was not something I could do long term. Management understood and we parted on good terms.

RMy son never got a bonus as like you he was on his probation period. This was pointed out to him though, not sure if it was written into the employment contract, yes my son was disappointed but it was what it was, didn’t make a fuss and as a surprise as he had performed well they did actually give him an unofficial payment.

UBecause bonus is realized for the contribution made over the past year while the person was employed. The companies performance to calculate bonus is the direct outcome of the performance of the employees combined during that period.
Good companies give bonus even when the employee is on a notice period. Great companies give bonus on a pro rata even when the employee isn’t currently employed.

UThere are 2 types of bonuses (apart from Joining bonus) I have usually seen –
1) Performance Incentive -> Depends upon your performance. Almost guaranteed that you will not get this (or you will get the minimum possible amount) if you are on notice period.
2) Quarterly / Half yearly / Annual bonus – Not linked to Performance. It works like a delayed lump sum salary. Irrespective of whether or not you are not on notice period – You are entitled to it.
Check your joining letter / annual performance letter for a clause regarding your bonus. Try to reason with anyone who is willing to discuss with you. If it does not work out – leave it. There is no recourse. You will hear comments regarding Court / labour commissioner etc – Process is the punishment my friend. You will get no where. You might try sending a legal notice and see if that works. But nothing beyond that is going to be useful. It is India – you and I don’t matter. Suck it up and move on. You have other struggles in life.

USame. My company is a very respected international MNC and have the same policy. In 2022 I quit after seeing my increment numbers as I had another offer at hand. Was told that my increment and bonus will not be applicable as I am on notice.
When the management asked, I cited my low salary and financial commitments (like Raju from 3 idiots – Baap ka operation, behen ki shaadi… lol). They wanted to retain me and I said I’d be open to a counter offer. They immediately went back and within two weeks I had an updated contract with a 30% hike effective start of next month.

UThis is another scam run by companies in India.
HRD ministry or legal court proceedings shall work in your favour. If you have time and money to represent your case
They morally should give. But if company is bankrupt then the obligations cannot be met. As the work is done for past year work so serving notice period is not acceptable clause by an unemployed and if you did sign the agreement to get the job offer.
Still you shall get the due as the clause is unidirectional favouring employer and hence discarded in the court. If put in front of a proper judge. 🧑⚖️

BIn my company clause regarding bonus was in employees handbook. It’s kind of manual which tells about company wide rule/provisions. Like travel allowance, Per Diem allowances, what’s the arrangements in case of transfer, seniority wise perks (Flight/hotel bookings) etc.
It’s a standard practice bro, if you are due for bonus lut your paper after you get it..
