Cost of living increase

kamila_2

Hi
I work for a private company and everyone is getting a cost of living allowance except my department . The reason we have been given is that we work in sales and earn commission . We have been enjoying a heathy commission because we have been achieveing our target , However i have just find out another department who is lick to commsion is getting a pay rise because they havent been doing well . I think we are being penalise for doing well and do feel like its a discrimation . Does anyone know if Legally I am correct ?
Its not just a money issue just also the principal

It's not discrimination in the legal sense.

3 year pay-freeze for me, plus increase in rent/life generally and IVA company not willing to reduce payments .

I'm sorry for what has happened to you and your colleagues, Kamila - I can well understand why you are feeling disgruntled, especially as you are achieving your targets. Are any of you in a Union? You could have a look at the ACAS website - that might have some useful advice. Here's a link to their site: http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1461.

I wish you lots of luck. x

Certainly not discrimination I'm afraid. It may well be "unfair", but that is an entirely subjective term and means nothing in a court of law!
