Limited data is available on the popularity of signing bonuses in Canada. The job site Indeed says ads including signing bonuses have not substantially increased this year. In the Montreal area, a call centre sales representative can get a $1,500 signing bonus, while Amazon offers a $1,000 signing bonus for warehouse workers . To lure candidates, Wilson is advertising a $1,000 signing bonus for each job. Instead of signing bonuses, he has raised wages by as much as 15 per cent to attract new hires.
