A bonus was issued For the period of April 1, 2023 thru to March 31, 2024 inclusive, the surplus will be allocated to employees who were ‘active’ as of June 1, 2024.
I have been on medical leave since May 9th of 2024 retuning to regular duty's as of September 2nd.
Can they say I'm not eligible for this bonus.
Hello,
Your employer may have a bonus policy that defines what "active" employment means. Generally, employees who are on a medical leave remain active employees of the company for most purposes such as seniority accrual and cost-of-living increases.
If your employer refuses to treat you as an active employee for the purpose of the additional bonus payment, this may amount to disability discrimination. Please contact us if you are denied the additional bonus.
