<prompt> Human: My girlfriend just left a company she has been working with for quite some time. Today we were told that the bonuses from her last quarter were being given this coming friday. So she texted her former district manager to find out how much it would be and he said she doesnt get one a bonus because she is no longer with the company. The quarter ended Dec 31, 2015 and she left the company on Jan 23 2016 . So she was there for the entire quarter that the bonus is being awarded for, but she isnt getting one. Is this legal? Im just having trouble understanding how that works. It doesnt sound right to me.  <response>: You dont typically receive a bonus if you quit before theyre paid out.
