GUEST - Tony Healy – Employer Labour Consultant
Where an employer and employee had entered into a contract of employment that contains any provision regarding the compulsory payment of bonuses, an employer would need to adhere to the terms of such contract. If an employer does not pay the bonus, it may be seen as a unilateral change to the provisions of the employment contract, in which case the employee may take legal action against the employer for breach of contract. We unpack this further with Employer Labour Consultant, Tony Healy.
