Hi there

my other half has worked for a telecommunications company for nearly 8 years now. The department he was working in has moved to India and therefore his job role was ended and he was put into another department where he now has the opportunity to earn bonuses.

 

He was told in his training that he would be put on bonus straight away as the norm for new starters is to cap the bonuses for three months but because it was a forced move they would be put on bonus.

 

He has been given the monthly stats sheet for the team which everyone gets and his bonus stands at £597 for his first month on the team. which he would be paid.

 

A few of the other members of the team (who have not made bonus this month as per stats) have started to complain to the manager and team leader that it's not fair that he has gone straight on bonus as they had to work there 3 months before getting full bonus.

 

His supervisor called him last week while he was off as he had a days hol to inform him that the line manager had now decided that he would have to work his three months first before getting full bonus and he would only get a nominal amount (£100) and that maybe he would be re-imbursed for the bonuses earnt but couldn't confirm. no-one seems to know whether he would be getting the other 500 and also this month he has earnt £150 bonus in his first week of this month.

 

The oppposite rotation were told that they wouldn't get bonuses but also weren't put on the stats sheet for bonus payments.

 

As my other half has the stat sheet which shows his bonus amount and the fact that he has been told from day one he would get this does the company have any right to withhold this money,and if they do do they have to pay him the full amount after the probationary period?

 

Wouldn't mind so much if it was just a few pounds but it's quite a lot and has the potential to be heading into the thousand+ mark after the three months.

 

Any help/advice appreciated and sorry for rambling!!

If he is in the union then I would get him to talk to a union rep. That is not right. Although bonuses are discretionary, it is not like he is new to the company so and appeal of that decision up the line should take place.

Thanks vortex i'll advise him. he has spoken to his econ rep (internal advice thinggymambobb) but as it it she who sets out the bonuses she wasn't very impartial. Apparently the company he works for does not recognise the unions. Whether this is right or not who knows the company seems to set there on rules then change there mind.
