Sign on bonus

That's great it deals with the exact situation. Thanks for all your help. I know the employee could walk away but I think it's unlikely as it's a relatively small industry.

We offer a bonus after X time in employment, say €5k after a year and another €10k after 2 years. The same goes for finder's fees, when an employee finds/gets another good person we give the finder a bonus after 1 and 2 years as long as the person they recommended is still working here.

I really don't like signing on bonuses.
