BB relocation/sign on bonus

My bb in hk doesn't seem to have the 10k sign on/relocation bonus > is anyone else in same situation? Does anyone know how I can negotiate it with the bank? (having already accepted, does it mean there's no leverage to negotiate on my behalf?) Thanks!

I think within the next few weeks. Got a call from HR about a week ago asking for which address to ship the check to. This is MM, btw.

I got mine on March 25th; an email was sent saying it'd be mailed on the 24th, so you should get it soon if not already. Enjoy the tax bite- I ended up with around $6150 after taxes.

 

The general rule of thumb is that the company will tell you in your offer letter exactly what is included. Some will pay you a straight up signing or relocation bonus and you will be on your own to pay for all relocation. Others will state that you are allowed two house-hunting flights, the ability to hire a moving company to move personal materials and a vehicle, etc. Some give you nothing.

Basically, you should re-read your offer letter as the information is most likely contained in it. If it isn't, I suggest you simply pick up the phone and call Human Resources. That's what they are there for.
