I assume I'm not the only one with a contract ending on the 28th and a new one to begin on the 1st.

Anyone know when bonuses will be paid?

Bonus for re-signing with the program. Believe it's a mil but don't have my contract on me.

Is this in addition to the two weeks 'home leave' and round-trip airfare? If so, I want to work where you're working.

Who's your employer?

Are you sure you get it? I think it's for next year since the contract you are re-signing is the one without mention of the bonus.

Yeah... PS posters on 'Dave's' seem to think when they re-sign, the new contract is somehow 'magically' retroactive. EPIK 'sucked in' many! My prediction is coming true. Wink Wait until the newbies figure out their 1.3 mil 'entrance allowance' doesn't cover their airfare.

They wrote that out of the 2009 contract.

Good Luck.

Combine that with the exit allowance and your airfare is more than covered.

That will depend on how many flights, where the flights are to, the time of year and the price of oil. Some will make money on the new entrance, exit or renewal allowances... and some will loose.

Job adds say that they give a 2mil signing bonus plus severance from the previous contract and 1.3 for airfare.

I didnt get any of that in November when I signed a new contract.
