A Transition Bonus Agreement becomes necessary when organizations undergo significant changes and need to ensure key personnel remain engaged and committed during the transition period. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, provides legal certainty regarding the terms of the bonus payment and protects both employer and employee interests. The agreement typically includes specific performance criteria, payment schedules, and conditions that must be met for the bonus to be paid, as well as any clawback provisions if the employee leaves before the specified period.
