<prompt> Human: I work part time as in no benefits but I put in close to 40 hours a week at a childrens theater company. Ive been working here for almost two years and last month the CEO send me an email claiming that I would receive a 500 bonus on my February 29th paycheck. Since it was a leap year our paycheck posted over the weekend. No bonus.When I got into work this morning, I emailed payroll asking about the status and they wrote back saying:Unfortunately, that email must have been sent in error. There is no discretionary bonus at this time for our reps.Im so sorry for the confusion.I have not responded yet because I am extremely upset and dont want to do anything rash. I was thinking about emailing the CEO to see what can be done its a small company, hes down the hall from me. I am counting on this money. Do I have any rights here? Any help would be appreciated.  <response>: I am counting on this money.Lesson learned. Never count on money, unless you are holding it in your hands.
