<prompt> Human: I recently switched jobs and recieved my final paystub from my previous job. It states on my year to date that i have recieved a bonus but i have never recieved it. I emailed hr and they said its up to the owners discretion who reveives bonuses. Is the company allowed to put it on my paystub that i received it but not give it to me?  <response>: No. In fact, the IRS will expect you to have paid taxes on that bonus as well.This reeks of payroll fraud. Call a lawyer.
