Backdated pay rise after leaving company

agf

Hi!

I've recently handed in my notice and will be leaving shortly. My current company have been going through a restructure of the pay structure, which was started in April. This included promised backdated pay to April. We have now had an offer through which would have given me a significant pay rise in November (which is when the new pay starucutre is expected to kick in), but as it stand I doubt this will be agreed by the time I finish.

So my question is: Should I still be expecting the lump sum payment of the difference of my cuyrrent salary since April and any agreed new rate for the role for the months I've worked since April?

A lot of contracts will state that a pay rise is only honoured provided the employee has not given in their notice.

I'm not 100% sure of the legalities.

Usually where an employee has handed in their notice, no pay rises are awarded, even if backdated.

Thanks for the replies (albeit not what I was hoping for).

Think I'll ask before I go as I find it a bit unfair considering I've been trying to discuss salary with my manager since May, but not been able to as the company was going through a major pay restructure.

Should have held on to that notice a bit longer...

A former client was looking to make bonuses twice a year and give profit share twice a year off set by 3 months from the bonus (at the time both were given in April) for the very reason that if you hand in your resignation you lose your right to either and so by always having one close means you retain staff better (a third of those that resigned did so in April)

You've decided to leave for whatever reason, be greatful your on to new things etc rather than regretting you hadnt stayed that bit longer otherwise you may have been there to retirement
