Garden leave means you get your low base salary but not any bonus, which is the bulk of a finance income.

It doesn’t _mean_ that.

It _can_ imply that if garden leave isn’t valued by workers in the negotiation stage of a position, but that also means it could be the bottom right corner of the prisoner’s dilemma.

Luckily one of the major reasons for the government to exist is to create regulation like this to make everyone pick the top left square of the prisoner’s dilemma so we all get a better outcome

Do finance firms pay the awarded bonus in full or vest it over time like most other business? If latter, I imagine you'd get your previously awarded bonus, you'd just stop accumulating bonuses to be paid in the future, which makes sense since you are going to be working elsewhere at that time and the new place's sign up should make up for the bonus payment ramp up.
