Re: Bonus or Not
Yes he should get the bonus, one has nothing to do with the other in that respect.
Since you need to show the $100 on his W2 (assuming it's not a cash bonus under the table), cut a separate check for the bonus and have him sign it back to you and then he'll only owe you $300 after the 1st and it's all legal for the tax man.
Or if you really trust him and are in the Christmas spirit, give him the bonus and get back the full $400 later. That's what I'd probably do for a good employee.....
