Just wanted to leave an update to my original query.

I made a request under the Fixed-term Employees (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations requesting a written statement as to why I didn't get the bonus.

The decision on this, although it took longer than the statutory time allowed has come back as a resounding success for me.

It appears that when the decision was made to bring people in on fixed term contracts rather than perm it was due to the company starting to go through a period of change - i.e. restructure - again (which is shortly to be resolved). At that time it would appear that the person at the top in HR apparently made an arbitrary decision to not pay fixed term workers the incentive bonus.

Anyway, it's gone out to legal who agree it must be paid and I got my confirmation on Friday. It is to be paid in this month's salary.

So for all of us that have started on a fixed term contract and for those who will be, it's a nice little bonus :j

Huge thanks for the advice - it was a difficult decision to make to do it but so glad I did.

Well done and thanks for coming back.
