Case Summary
The claimant claimed unpaid wages including accrued holiday pay and an unpaid bonus balance from 2024. The tribunal found the respondent liable for unauthorised wage deductions of £1201.41 and breach of contract in failing to pay the outstanding bonus of £1900.00, finding the bonus agreement was unconditional and could not be withheld for alleged subsequent misconduct.
Why this outcome?
The tribunal found that the bonus repayment contract signed on 21 May 2025 was express, complete, binding and contained no conditions allowing the respondent to withhold payment based on subsequent alleged misconduct. The respondent's claim that conduct discovered after the agreement justified withholding the £1900.00 balance was rejected as the agreement's guarantee of payment made no such provision.
