Yeah companies pull this bullshit scam all the time, hit X by Y date then delay or "cancel" the whole project. (all projects get delayed, everywhere, all the time) Don't act surprised and don't act like it's not a scam, it's one of the oldest scams around. Ideally you'd pay them out the maximum allowed amount for hitting 100% of everything, but you won't be allowed to do that because it appears you're the powerless fall guy in this scam. "but we already pay you a good base, don't worry about the scam" is loving precious. Pryor on Fire fucked around with this message at 14:53 on Sep 27, 2018 |

If you actually want to incentivize people with money then make it a surprise and make it retroactive. It has to have happened in the past, not the future, and not as a conditional in some convoluted contract that the company can unilaterally bail on at any time by delaying a project. So when I give an employee a raise we do the raise at the start of the month, and then don't tell them for a week or two. Then when we are doing the performance review or just a check-in I can say something like "you're doing great work, we love you, we're bumping your pay by 10% and this is retroactive so you've already been making $110k for the past two weeks and you should notice this in your next pay stub". People LOVE this. It's like a bonus and a raise in one. Sometimes after a particularly grueling project we will backpay a raise too, so then the employee gets their raise and we pay a bonus of 10% base for the past three months as well in their next paycheck. If it's a built in future bonus baked into an employment agreement then it's not a carrot, it's a stick. People hate sticks.
