It depends on the combination of your contract of employment and the custom and practice of the company for which you work.Hi All,
I went off sick for about a year and a half due to stresss/anxiety in 2022 a month before end of year reviews. I missed 2 end of year reviews in that time.
We would normally get a bonus and for the last few years it was a similar amount each year. Do i have any entitlement to get a bonus for the 2 End of year reviews that I missed? should it even be pro rata for the 11 months of the year that I was in the offfice and i just missed the EOY review that year?
On a similar vein, other team members got pay rises of 5% for last 2 pay reviews. My pay has remained the same and another review is due soon. So what is the best way to approach my latest review? colleagues on same team now have gotten 10% pay rise in last 2 reviews to cover cost of inflation.
thanks all.
I doubt this but accept we will never know. Why would any company have a set bonus without any T&C attached, I mean the clue is in the name. As regards the reviews you need to make your case with emphasis on the inflation rather than your performance given that you were not there for such a long time.I suspect it may be the case that because you weren’t there when the goodies were handed out, you were forgotten about.

This is effectively an appeal to their better nature. Depending on the contract and/or custom and practice, the OP may well be protected by employment legislation which would put him/her on a much firmer footing when pursuing a solution.As regards the reviews you need to make your case with emphasis on the inflation rather than your performance given that you were not there for such a long time.
You’re in a much stronger position than you seem to realise.Thanks all for the comments, I will see what they say but won't hold out much hope. I don't recall ever seeing a contract but can ask for that too. Doubt there is any mention of bonuses in the contract and probably would always be at managers discretion. I think maternity is covered by legislation but guess sick leave is a separate matter. Seems wrong to be not considered when on sick leave.
