      They matched my salary expectations and even threw in some unexpected perks (I've never seen a guaranteed minimum bonus before?) and an extra week of vacation provided I start March 16th.

      Life is good being a capitalist. I'll have lots of double-dipping for a while as my severance pays out -- will use it to pay first + last month's rent and then some for my new place. That's what I'll look for next week.

      Man, is employment insurance ever useless.
      Congrats

      Isn't a guaranteed minimum bonus the same as "extra salary"?

        Except taxed at the highest bracket, I imagine.

        • Bonus is taxed differently from regular salary?

            • Well done. It's nice to hear employment stories with the opposite happening in so many places.

                  Not really. Extra salary would be meted out throughout the year, where a bonus is paid out once, typically at the beginning of the calendar year. It's not taxed any differently in Canada per se, although the amount that is withheld from your paycheques is based upon your salary amount, not your salary + bonus. That means less tax would be deducted per pay, even though it nets out to the same in the end.

                      I think it may be subject to different withholding requirements, but I'm pretty sure a bonus is actually taxed just like other ordinary income (at least federally), considering that it's generally compensation for services.
