appropriate to ask sign-on bonus numbers?

Received a BB S&T offer but HR didn't mention sign-on bonus in the call. Should I email to ask? On the phone I also agreed to reply by the end of next week. Would it be ok to ask for an extension? Will it result in retraction of offer? thank you in advance.

If it's for SA, there is no signing bonus. If it's FT, the signing bonus will be listed on the contract.

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
 

thank you. mine is FT. so if it's not mentioned in the contract means no signing bonus then? :( would it be appropriate to check with HR on this?

 

Just for reference, my BB offer specified 5k sign on (paid after signing the contract) and 5k relocation (paid when I start working).

People tend to think life is a race with other people. They don't realize that every moment they spend sprinting towards the finish line is a moment they lose permanently, and a moment closer to their death.
