Notice Period and Digital Incentives: What to Expect

Will you receive digital incentives (bonuses, commissions, etc.) while serving your notice period? The answer hinges on a few key factors:

• Company Policy is King: The most important element is your company’s policy on incentive payouts during notice periods. Some companies clearly outline whether incentives are distributed proportionally (pro-rated) or forfeited entirely during notice in their employment contracts or handbooks.
• Incentive Type Matters: The type of incentive can also be relevant. Performance-based bonuses directly linked to your work during the notice period might not be awarded. However, time-based bonuses or incentives earned before the notice period are more likely to be paid out.
• Negotiation is an Option: Depending on your working relationship with the company and your performance history, you might have some room to negotiate the terms of your incentive payout during the notice period.
