EAT Jurisdictional Points – CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT – Incorporation into contract
Deductions from wages under Employment Rights Act 1996, sections 13 and 27.
The Claimant contended that unlawful deductions had been made from his wages following the Respondent issuing and the Claimant accepting a new contract of employment. The Respondent issued the contract in furtherance of a strategy to eradicate discrimination in pay. The Claimant argued that he was entitled to pay protection in respect of a bonus which had been paid under the original contract but was not paid under the new contract.
Held: the Employment Judge was entitled to find that the new contract had no term, express or implied in any way that pay protection would be paid. Appeal dismissed.
