Yeah that is pretty common in the hedge fund/trading world. They call it garden leave and you get your base salary for usually 6-18 months. The downside to that is you only get your base salary which is usually a fraction of the expected bonus.

> garden leave

It's called the same thing in Germany. The term also applies to when you quit, but the employer wants to cut your access to the company ahead of your contract termination date. It's typical to have 1-3 months of "notice period" in Germany.
