you see this is what is confusing me. So are you saying that if i continue to pursue this with The Nationwide, I am likely to get my charges back despite them saying that because of the court case all refunds have been temporarily suspended?

Yeah in the contract it states that I must be working on the day of payment, but surly because I was working over the period of which the bonus was calculated, it would extremely unfair for them to not pay up? If the bonus came 3 weeks earlier then yes I would have expected to receive it.

cool good to know I've done the right thing at least thank you

Ok so maybe I'm just reading the wrong bits. I have about £700-£800 of charges taken from The Nationwide which is slightly unfair I feel. So I wrote to them last year about November time and they duly wrote back to me saying that there is currently a court case going on so any claims for refunds have been suspended. Is this the case or is it that Nationwide are just being stubborn? Should I continue to pursue this or wait till the court case has come to a conclusion?

Having worked at my job for 18 months, I left in September to go to University, two week before I my last pay day. This just happened to be also bonus pay day which I was expecting at least £1,000. Because I left the two weeks before bonus pay day the company said that I wouldnt be getting my bonus. I of course didnt find this very funny, so spoke with my team leader, then my manager, then HR and the manger HR and sent a lot of emails explaining that I really needed this for my university course. What gets me is that the bonus was calculated from the 6 months before the start of the financial year to the end of the financial year. So I had been working the whole time under the impression that i was to receive my bonus, with the bonus to be paid out in full in the following September. Is there anything I can do to maybe get that, what I am duly owed.
