My firm's policy is (was) to award annual bonuses with a 3-year payout. It was pitched as a retention policy but, as I determined today, an employee who is laid-off receives none of the accrued bonus due them. I can understand this policy as it applies to someone who voluntarily leaves the firm or is fired but it seems patently unfair to laid-off employees. I live in California and am wondering if anyone knows if this is legal? Thank you.
