All of the firm\u2019s United States associates can expect the bonus money to be paid on December 15th. That still gives you enough time to buy some nice Subway gift cards as stocking stuffers before the holidays roll around.

We like hearing about bonuses almost as much as you enjoy spending them. As soon as your firm\u2019s memo comes out, please\u00a0email it to us<\/a> (subject line: \u201c[Firm Name] Bonus\u201d) or text us (646-820-8477). Please include the memo if available. You can take a photo of the memo and send it via text or email if you don\u2019t want to forward the original PDF or Word file.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019d like to sign up for ATL\u2019s Salary & Bonus Alerts, please scroll down and enter your email address in the box below this post. If you previously signed up for the bonus alerts, you don\u2019t need to do anything. You\u2019ll receive an email notification within minutes of each bonus announcement that we publish.<\/p>\n
