Bonus payment.

vendredi 19 décembre 2014

Hi all.



in the past I've used this site for info but have only joined as a member today. Hopefully somebody will be able to help me.



Where I work they pay out a bonus at Christmas which is described as a "discretionary" bonus. It's paid out to all workers and while not being a huge sum it is useful this time of year.

This year I haven't been paid it. I had an accident at work about three years ago and I claimed against the company for my injuries. Part of the injuries I suffered was a broken tooth which I have ongoing issues and expenses with, that was the reason I put the claim in.

I have had the bonus paid to me since the claim but this year they have decided not to pay me it. When I queried why I hadn't been paid the bonus I was told by a senior manager that my injury claim is the reason they aren't paying it. He emphasised that it was a discretionary bonus and they can withhold it from individuals if they want to. There are no issues with my work, etc.

So what I want to know is are they within their rights to do this?



Thanks for any help or advice. Dave.
