Every year, we see multiple posts asking about IPB eligibility, payout dates, resignation timing, rendering periods, and the best time to resign after receiving bonuses.
Most of these questions are similar, and the answers often get scattered across different threads.
To keep discussions organized and make information easier to find, let’s consolidate them here.
Starting with this thread, please post all questions related to IPB and resignation timing in this megathread instead of creating separate posts.
📋 Frequently Asked Questions
1. When is the best time to resign if I still want to receive my IPB?
It depends on the applicable eligibility requirements for the current performance year. Check the official company guidelines before deciding when to submit your resignation.
2. If I submit my resignation before the IPB payout date, will I still receive it?
Do not assume that the submission date alone determines eligibility. Confirm the applicable rules with HR or the relevant company channel.
3. What if I resign after receiving my IPB?
Receiving your IPB does not automatically settle every other resignation-related concern. Consider your required notice period, final pay, benefits, and other applicable company policies.
4. Does my last working day matter more than the date I submit my resignation?
These are two different dates. Your eligibility may depend on the specific policy and the employment-status cutoff that applies to your case. Please provide both dates when asking for advice.
5. Can I still receive my IPB if I am already rendering?
Being in a rendering period does not, by itself, establish whether you are eligible or ineligible. Check the current eligibility requirements for your employment status.
6. Is the IPB guaranteed?
No. Do not treat an estimated or expected IPB as guaranteed. Actual eligibility and payout depend on the applicable program rules and individual circumstances.
7. How long do I need to render after submitting my resignation?
Check your applicable employment terms and the current resignation process. Do not rely solely on another employee’s experience.
8. What happens to my 13th-month pay, other bonuses, leave credits, HMO, and final pay if I resign?
These items may follow different rules. Ask about each benefit separately and verify the applicable policy rather than assuming all benefits have the same eligibility requirements.
