Based on the most helpful WSO content, whether you need to stay until the bonus is paid in February or can leave on 12/31 depends on your company's specific bonus policy. Generally, many firms require employees to be actively employed at the time bonuses are distributed to be eligible for payment. This means that if you resign before the payout date, you may forfeit your bonus, even if you worked through the fiscal year.
To avoid any surprises, it’s best to review your employment contract or company handbook for details on bonus eligibility. If the policy isn’t clear, consider having a discreet conversation with HR or your manager to confirm the requirements.
