When I worked I finance my compensation plan was always in writing as percentage of base compensation and commissions. If I was there on Jan 15th I got all of it. If I left anytime before Jan 15th I got none of it. So typically in December the brokerages lay off or fire anyone they don’t want to pay bonus to. In January everyone switches jobs after they get their bonus.
