Thank you for your reply. That actually makes sense to me! And my recruiter did say the hospital was offering the bonus. So I guess that is probably it. I will ask her about it tomorrow again though just to be sure. Thanks again for your reply!

Hi! I just signed up for this forum and haven't really figured out how to get around in here yet. I have a question and I am hoping some of you can answer it for me. I am taking a contract with a $2000 sign on bonus or completion bonus I guess is more accurate. But my recruiter mentions something to me about a "corporate tax" and after the corporate tax the bonus is $1600. So I get my contract today and am looking over all the details and it states the completion bonus of $1600 dollars. I am confused! If it is taxed, the tax should come out of the $2000 and the contract should read $2000, not $1600, right? I mean my hourly pay is taxed as well, but my contract doesn't read an hourly rate with the taxes already taken out. Am I right here? Or does it work differently with bonuses? I am hoping to get some quick answers because I don't trust my recruiter and I am supposed to start my job on Monday and I will need to sign the contract soon. I appreciate any input. Thank you!
