Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

signing bonus

Is it legal for a company to sway employees who belong to a union by giving them a monitary signing bonus that has a deadline? If they don't sign the contract within the time stipulated by the company, they lose the bonus altogether.

Re: signing bonus

Generally it would be legal to set a deadline for acceptance, but in a union setting this is a matter that is subject to collective bargaining. It may be an issue to bring up to your union representative.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
