I am a bit hesitant to post but wanted to know if anyone else has been in this situation and input. First off, I love my job, especially as it sits presently with some new customers and added accounts. Our company traditionally pays out all sales and operations bonus money in April, May or June for the prior year. A few years in April, the last two were half in May, half in June. We received a notice that all 2019 Bonus $$ was suspended and would not be paid out "until further notice", and from what I now understand may not happen at all.
One note is I am in sales and I have a non compete and this bonus $$ is part of our payment plan or what they call "consideration". Second note is that I was offered a position last year with another company but did not leave since I knew this bonus was in play and I would be receiving. That is water under the bridge at this point. Third note is that I have been given an account that will make up for the bonus money but it was not tabled like that at all. We had a salesperson leave and they divided the accounts rather than hire someone so I stand to make a good bit more $$. (I think it is my local level boss taking care of me.)
I am thankful to have a job and a good paying one at that. My only pay that has been cut thus far is $100 off my vehicle allowance and I can't really gripe about that if it keeps a few folks working. We have had several sales people laid off but our region is doing well, even in this Covid situation. I am also able to work from home so that is nice, and I think that will continue for a while. I have inquired about our bonus money but I all hear is that it is on the CEO's desk and not approved. I speak with our commission administrator on a regular basis and he keeps me in the loop.
I plan to stay where I am now through the end of the year. What would you guys do in the situation? Does the fact I have not received by sales bonus negate the non compete? Thanks in Advance.
