I've been working for a year now on this new company. Doubled my basic salary and work is light compared to the previous.
Part of our contract is that we will get a quarterly and yearly bonus although the eligibility was not specified in the document. They kept mentioning these bonuses during the job offer, contract discussion and orientation meetings which excited me.
However, I didn't get any. Here's how it happened:
Q1 2022 – No bonus. Wasn't part of the company yet.
Q2 2022 – No bonus as I didn't complete the whole quarter. (I guess that makes sense)
Q3 2022 – Completed the quarter but still no bonus because according to them I have to be a Regular employee. (alright)
Q4 2022 – Now a Regular employee but still no bonus because according to the eligibility is I have to be a regular employee during the whole quarter. No salary increase from Probationary to Regular employee.
2022 Yearly Bonus – Still no bonus because apparently I have to complete the previous year of 2022.
2022 Yearly appraisal – Did not qualify for an appraisal because I did not complete the previous year of 2022.
Q1 2023 – I should be eligible by now. Expected to get something. Nope, did not get any. They decided to change it (just a few days before the payout) from a Quarterly to Twice a year bonus. So instead of getting a bonus for Q1, they moved the payout bonus a few months later.
All of this happened while being a top performer for the year getting multiple 'awards' in which none were actual money.
I guess I am also partly to be blamed because I didn't ask the eligibilities but I can't help but feeling deceived.
Should I tolerate these things or should I just move on and start looking for a new job?
