EAT UNLAWFUL DEDUCTION FROM WAGES
The Employment Tribunal erred in finding that the Claimant had a contractual entitlement to a bonus of 30% of her salary, and to be paid her bonus while serving out a notice period. There was no express term to either effect. To imply a contractual right to bonus (based on custom and practice) was inconsistent with the express terms of the Claimant’s contract of employment which were not properly considered or addressed. This was an insuperable hurdle for the Claimant.
