   No.   
      
   A hiring bonus is offered because it is needed to hire the desired   
   person.  In my own experience part of that is the need to compensate   
   for the loss of the expected year-end bonus at the prior job if the   
   new hire is being enticed to leave the old job before collecting that   
   bonus.
