A retention bonus, also called retention pay or a retention package, is a lump sum of money a company pays to an employee to stay with the company for a specific amount of time. Usually, retention bonuses are sizable amounts of money, ranging from 10% to 25% of an employees base pay.
4 central pillars: Employee retention is based on a clear corporate culture, fair remuneration, targeted development opportunities and a good work-life balance. These factors work together to strengthen employee loyalty and satisfaction in the long term.
A retention bonus agreement looks like a fairly standard legal document, typically outlining how much compensation someone is going to receive as part of their bonus, how long the agreement stays in effect, and what happens if the employee quits or the employer terminates their employment.
Restrictive covenants, including non-competition clauses, confidentiality clauses, non-disparagement clauses, cooperation clauses or non-solicitation clauses, can seriously limit your career prospects, making the immediate gainsshort-term severance paynot always worth the sacrifices.
