I do, it's illegal, and I'm sure the IRS has an eye on this too since I don't think these guys were claiming the additional income.

You have a problem with incentive programs at the work place? Ok. Make sure to call the IRS if you get a tax free bonus at your workplace!

Not sure where you work but my bonuses come with taxes already taken out.

pretty much, especially when bonuses are taxed at a much higher rate. Something like 38%-40%

I've worked at places where there were cash bonuses.

Not quite. A major communications company that you've probably done business with.

The whole evading taxes bit here is a petty reason to be honest. Let's think about how many office pools across America that are never reported as income. However, the bigger issue in all of this is circumventing the salary cap. Looked what happened to the Minnesota Timberwolves when they tried to pay Joe Smith under the table. They got slammed big time.


I really don't think bonuses for head hunting really mean anything these days because the fines usually occurred by dirty play will always be greater than that of the pool they might be winning. However, no coach should teach or suggest dirty play of any sort. You can knock opponents out of the game without having to succumb to dirty tactics.
