(Consulting at a nonprofit...)At a nonprofit every year is fiscally tight, but because
of two new grants, this year there will be a little money left over for about 10 to
15 percent of the employees to get modest bonuses. Jeff thinks awarding the
bonuses at the end of February would be great timing so those employees
fortunate enough to get one could use it for a spring vacation if they chose to do
so. The annual performance reviews are on a focal review and are due each June.
He wants you to concur with his plan and to review the letter he's written to be
distributed with the checks. In the letter Jeff thanks each employee for
outstanding contribution and then tells them not to mention the bonus to anyone
else so no feelings are hurt, which could negatively impact the team work at the
agency. Your first response to the letter is what?
It needs to be rewritten, taking out the part telling them not to speak about the
bonus.
Your response to the February timing is what?
No, that is unlinked from the annual performance reviews
When Jeff hears your feedback, he raises the issue of bonuses for some but not all
and its impact on team work. Your advice is what?
Make sure the criteria for how one earned the bonus are completely transparent.
