Bonuses entitlement if you leave at the end of fiscal year?

I know it’s best to wait until the bonus hits the bank, but what would be the actual likely scenario if I quit, say, Jan 1? And what if I left a couple of months before the end of the year? Just trying to be aware of all the trade offs here. Thanks in advance.
