sign-on bonus retention?

Has anyone heard of sign-on bonuses given with a clause that basically says to be paid sometime within the next 12 months? A friend of mine is changing places and has something like that.

To me this is very strange, b/c I got mine when I started right away.

edit: my other guess is that it's a fuckup by some HR drone
