Maternity leave- bonus pay

This is a really difficult one to prove as bonuses are not guaranteed but if you know that everyone else has had a bonus as usual I’d definitely speak to the line manager and or HR xx

You should be entitled to your bonus, do you have a HR department you can contact ?

Definitely still entitled to a bonus. Contact HR.

Oh no..I got my bonus. Did you have your year end conversation?

Do you have a signed contract stating how long you get the bonus for? Where I work we get it for the first 6 months of our year off

I think you are supposed to be entitled to it, I got mine last mat leave x

I’m having a similar issue regarding pay rises. My team have been given them for hitting targets and I’ve been told I need to wait until I return from mat leave. I looked it up and it’s definitely maternity discrimination. I’d contact HR and tell them you will take it higher.

Do you know if the rest of your team received their bonus?

Contact HR and ask question…. It all depends from your work policy but I’m sure you should get one.

I didn’t get my bonus until I returned to work from mat leave

Thats not right. You are still employed and this should have been handed over to your new manager. Advise hr that you will be seeking advice from acas. Whether you were getting a bonus or not should have been communicated

On my first pregnancy they told me it was a discretionary bonus based on achievement of KPI and as I was pn maternity i didnt achieve anything therefore not eligible.
I now have a new job so im not hoping for a bonus but still hope I get something haha at least pro rata of what I worked

Oh yes indeed ! Is it written in your company handbook in the bonus section that you are not eligible during mat pay ? Double check that and if not ho straight to HR with a serious complaint

Hi ladies! Just a quick update here. So my line managers (who has now left the business) boss has come back to me and gave me some lame excuse about me not receiving my bonus and pay increase saying because there’s a new policy changed that happened a year ago about monthly trainings that if they are not completed we would not get a pay rise and bonus which I believe it’s loads BS and then after the meeting I then went onto our system to review my year end review and it was him that marked me down! Which in the meeting he did not mention anything that it was him that completed my year end review. I’m so pissed and feel so discriminated and treated unfairly! I’ve escalated it to HR but feels like HR will protect the company. What else can I do? Any advices please x

Were these trainings added whilst you were on leave? Also if there is a new policy, is there a comms?
