Employers don't get sued for not paying promised bonuses? Jeez, I feel really naive. Or is it that the conditions that trigger the bonuses are "widely interpreted" or "soft?"
How can you leave physical therapy out of medical coverage? If you want to get back to work after a severe accident or some kinds of surgery, it's in the employer's best interest to provide the PT that makes that happen ASAP. Or is it only certain kinds of PT that are excluded? How much vacation is considered minimum, how much is considered reasonable, and how much is considered luxury, in your opinion?

If, as an employer you promise a bonus given certain conditions, pay it if those conditions are met, every time (oooo, can you tell what I'm dealing with right now?!?!?) Medical coverage that includes the full range of medical services: don't skimp on psych or physical therapy. Also, grab medical a plan that covers not only birth, but birth control. Vacation, vacation, vacation.
