How do bonuses work for off-cycle hires/laterals?

Lateraling to a top tier BB as a 1st year IB analyst. 

How would bonuses work for somebody like me? Is it pro-rated? Or would I automatically be enrolled in the lowest bonus bracket?

Not banking but I joined a place mid year and mine was prorated.
