Small and others v The Boots Co Plc and Another: EAT 23 Jan 2009

EAT CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT: Written particulars
UNLAWFUL DEDUCTION FROM WAGES
In determining claims under a discretionary bonus scheme the Employment Judge erred in failing to decide whether the scheme had any contractual content and, if so, what. (Horkulak v Cantor Fitzgerald [2005] ICR 402.) A claim for a bonus under a ‘substantially equivalent’ scheme on a TUPE transfer is for an unquantified amount and cannot be brought under the Employment Relations Act 1996 Section 23, unless Article 3(c) of the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994 applies.
