The announcement follows last week’s news that for the third consecutive year, Bank of America will extend special compensation awards to approximately 95 percent of its global workforce, distinguishing the company as a corporate leader in connecting ongoing performance results directly back to its employees. Awards include cash bonuses and stock paid since 2017 totaling approximately $1.6B, in addition to any other compensation employees received.
