Introduce a bonus scheme
Key points
Organisations can operate contractual or discretionary bonus schemes.
When introducing a bonus scheme, the employer should decide whether or not bonuses under the scheme are intended to be contractual or discretionary and ensure that this is clearly reflected in the relevant employees' contracts of employment.
Whether contractual or discretionary, the employer should set out clear criteria under which a bonus payment will be made.
