Many times completion bonuses are given because the outage can't staff OR they are incorporated into the payrate, which means you aren't really getting more money, just less money upfront. Bonuses aren't always good. They may just be a portion lopped off your hourly wage tied to other items you have little control over. I'd rather have my full hourly wage now than a couple dollars an hour of it coming at a later date 2 companies see fit.
