I am too leaving my current employer. I was given an excellent rating for 2007 and because of this (as every other year) given a 6.5% bonus based on last year's performance to be paid the week of March 10th. My last day at my current employer is March 7th. My question is: Does my employer have the right to withhold this? I worked very hard in 2007 and apparently very good. I gave my manager a 2 week "verbal" notice and afraid of putting it in writing now because they (not my manager but HR) will keep my bonus. I live in Michigan.
