Here.

I'll help you out and the matter can be settled very quickly.

BONUS:

Anything given in addition to the customary or required amount.

WAGE:

Money paid for work done.

A BONUS is NOT a wage.

Therefore, the Connecticut WAGE law, which the AIG executives are using to justify their bonuses does not apply.

I cannot imagine that our states have a law that protects the BONUSES to be paid to employees of companies.

Bonuses paid to employees are not a public matter.

They are a private CONTRACTUAL matter between employee and employer.

I can, however, imagine that states have a law to protect the wages of employees.

One is not the same as the other.

IMO, of course.
