Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas
Quarterly Bonus
I recently left my job at the end of September. While I was employed, I received a quarterly bonus. The bonuses were paid a month after every quarter. My former employer is refusing to pay me my bonus from last quarter because I was not employed when they paid the bonuses this month, although iIwas employed until the end of the quarter that the bonus was paid for. is this legal?

Re: Quarterly Bonus
Bonus is usually an award for good work and to keep employees...Unless you had a contract, oral or written, that you were entitled to a bonus..you are not entitled..in my opinion
