Outcome

Individual claims

Unlawful Deduction from Wagesfailed

The tribunal found that the claimant was not entitled to a profit related bonus under her contract of employment. The claim for unlawful deduction from wages under section 13 Employment Rights Act 1996 was therefore not well founded.

Facts

The claimant brought a claim for unlawful deduction from wages relating to a profit related bonus she claimed she was entitled to receive from her employer, Associated Wellbeing Limited. The matter proceeded to a one-day hearing in Liverpool before Employment Judge Johnson, with the claimant appearing unrepresented and the respondent represented by Mrs A Singh, a solicitor.

Decision

The tribunal dismissed the claim, finding that the claimant was not entitled to the profit related bonus she claimed. The complaint under section 13 Employment Rights Act 1996 was not well founded, meaning the claim was unsuccessful.

Practical note

A claimant must establish a contractual entitlement to bonus payments before they can succeed in an unlawful deduction from wages claim for unpaid bonuses.
