Frequently Asked Questions

A directors resolution is a formal document that records the decisions made by a company's board of directors. It serves as an official record of actions taken, such as authorizing bonuses or other corporate actions.

A written consent resolution is appropriate when the board cannot meet in person but needs to make timely decisions. This method allows directors to provide their consent to a resolution without convening a formal meeting.

Yes, this kit is designed to comply with legal requirements across all states, making it a versatile tool for corporations regardless of their location.

The kit includes a Directors Resolutions Checklist, instructions and samples for consent resolutions, and a form for the Board of Directors Resolution authorizing the bonus.

While this kit specifically focuses on bonuses, the framework and guidelines can be adapted for other types of employee compensation, provided they comply with corporate governance standards.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Corporations may need to authorize bonuses for employees as a reward for exceptional performance. This resolution allows the board to formally document the decision and ensure compliance with corporate governance standards.
  • In situations where a board cannot convene for an in-person meeting, a written consent resolution provides a practical alternative. This allows the board to act swiftly and efficiently, ensuring that employee bonuses can be awarded without unnecessary delays.
  • For companies undergoing restructuring or facing financial challenges, authorizing bonuses can be a strategic move to retain key talent. This kit provides the necessary documentation to support such decisions while adhering to legal requirements.
  • When a corporation wants to ensure transparency and accountability in its compensation practices, drafting a board resolution is essential. This formal documentation helps protect the interests of shareholders and maintains trust in corporate governance.
  • In cases where a bonus is tied to specific performance metrics, the board may need to clarify the rationale behind the decision. This resolution serves as a record that outlines the criteria for awarding bonuses, which can be important for future reference.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate if the board has already met and voted on the bonus in a formal meeting. In such cases, the decision should be documented in the meeting minutes instead.
  • If the corporation is facing legal challenges or investigations related to compensation practices, using this kit without consulting legal counsel may exacerbate the situation. It's crucial to seek legal advice in such scenarios.
  • In situations where the bonus structure is not clearly defined or agreed upon, this resolution may not be suitable. Clear criteria for awarding bonuses should be established before drafting a resolution.
  • When the corporation is not in compliance with state or federal employment laws, using this form could lead to further legal complications. Ensure all legal requirements are met before proceeding with bonus authorizations.
  • If the board lacks the authority to approve bonuses due to restrictions in the corporate bylaws, this resolution should not be used. Always verify the board's authority before drafting any resolutions.
