Thank you folks for all the helpful comments above. I am a similar situation in which I was told that my two-year contract will end by the end of June 2023. I have never taken any vacation or protected week or firm-wide trip due to work commitments since I joined.

If I tell my group that I am going to visit my in law overseas (which is an honest reason) and need to take vacation or PTO hours in the middle of June (meaning they would understand June 15 will be my last day because I won’t come back to employment due to my contract ending), do you think they will try to mess with my bonus payout?

Thanks!

 

Usually banks are pretty chill about this. They kinda assume you have senioritis for June anyway and rather than pay you to do nothing and then pay your PTO out, they just let you use up your PTO and end early with no impact to bonus.
