Pay Rises

[bgen77]

Hi there,

Quick question regarding pay rises. Recently some employees, who are employed as the same role as me and many of my other colleagues, have been given pay rises.

The reason I and others haven't gotten one is because we have received a 'letter of concern' (basically a warning for something like being late 3 times within 3 months, or 3 sickness within 6 months, which last 12 months).

Is this legal? or should me and my other colleagues be entitled to the same pay rise since we are doing the same job? Also I have been employed longer than most of the people who have been given these pay rises.

Re: Pay Rises

I had a similar thing with my employer, if their concerns are justified and in line with their "trigger" policies for raising concerns then I am afraid this is pretty standard.

Have you raised this with them and have they given you any conditions to how/when you may be considered for a pay increase? If not then ask, something along the lines of, if your attendance is markedly improved over a period of [x] months then it will be reviewed.
