Help - Company wide investigation

lufcgirl

Hi

I work in a sales department for a huge company in the UK. I'm one of the top sellers and make a lot of money in commission (to me anyway) each month. Earlier in the month we were asked how people get around doing a certain type of contract (which basically loses us and the company money) and I told them how it was done and that pretty much everyone on department does this.

Fast forward two days, and someone checked all my sales and found I'd done this five times in 300 sales or so. I admitted I did it, got a conscience and then stopped straight away. They then said they're conducting an investigation and my bonus for that month would be suspended. However since that (over two weeks) I've learned the entire department is being investigated and much worse by advisors (not me) has been uncovered. Yet I am the only person within the company not receiving any bonus.

Just my question is, although I know I am in the wrong, is it right they have only suspended my money from everyones? Or is this correct procedure? Obviously this has never been repeated, I was never suspended and my manager has told me I won't be dismissed, I just feel it's unfair after finding out from people more senior to him people are doing much worse and still receiving their bonuses each month.
