Bonus schemes cover how discretionary and contractual bonuses are earned, calculated and paid within employment. In plain terms, this area looks at how bonuses are defined, what triggers a payout, and when bonuses become due. A solicitor in this field drafts or negotiates bonus schemes, reviews payroll and bonus calculations, challenges unlawful deductions, and advises on disputes with employers or payroll providers. They may also help with changing scheme rules and ensuring compliance with relevant employment law and equality duties.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The specific act or decision that protects the client’s position is the timely and correct application of the bonus scheme terms, plus any applicable statutory rights. If a bonus is withheld or calculated incorrectly, a solicitor can outline what relief or remedy is available, including potential enforcement steps and the possibility of penalties for non-compliance by the employer.
