This bonus, per the thread, has to be accepted for a candidate to get a job offer and has unclear implications for when a worker may leave.
In this case it is closest to a 'signing bonus' or stipend as some professional school trainees get in the final years of their training before they begin a job.
This situation has no widely-known parallel in the normal corporate world for office labor.

How would that make it different from any other bonus?

At least in my experience, Bonuses are either paid out upon 'completion' or are prorated as far as the clawback.
