sign-on bonuses
New employee perks
Sign-on bonuses are one-time payments offered to new employees as an incentive to accept a job offer.
Companies use them to attract talent in competitive markets or to compensate candidates for what they're leaving behind—unvested stock, pending bonuses, or relocation costs.
The tech company offered a $50,000 sign-on bonus to sweeten the deal.
Sign-on bonuses often come with strings: leave within a year or two, and you may have to pay it back.
