Signing Bonus

Hiring & Retention Strategy

Attracting (and winning) key talent in today’s environment requires some sort of capital investment up front and a compelling compensation package. This often means employers are doling out fairly substantial signing bonuses.


Historically, signing bonuses stemmed from one-off situations exacerbated by the downfall of equity or the rising cost of living. Now, signing bonus strategies have become commonplace across multiple industries – well beyond the technology worker use case – from healthcare to pharmacy to trucking.

The challenge

Traditional signing bonus limitations

Transactional

Considered a bargaining chip, traditional signing bonuses don’t support future employee retention, morale, or engagement.

Collections

HR often lack time to track the bonus collections process and enforce the contract when clawbacks are included.

Legal

Some states require these to be labeled ‘cash advance’ to ensure future clawback.
