Question about payouts for awards

I am not sure how to search for employment rules regarding this. I was notified in January that I won an award in recognition of my work, and it came with a $2000 bonus. I was given the plaque for the award last month, but still haven't received the funds. Is there a legal timeline that an employer has to give award/bonuses? This keeps happening for other things… we can do extra work as a side contract and we get a lump sum payout after it's done (it's over our normal job requirements). It regularly takes them months after the work is done to pay it out. It's bonkers frustrating. I am in FL, if that means anything.
