Recruitment referral scheme

Hi

We used to have a referral scheme that it was paying a bonus of 3K gross to employees after 4 months of the referral start date.

One employee refereed a candidate who started the 24th July. The employee handed in his notice and left the 17th November.

The bonus should have been paid in December so we din't pay him the bonus.

We received a letter from him yesterday date 15th November making a formal grievance and asking to be paid the bonus, also because this was verbally confirmed by one senior manager.

Can somebody advise please?

Thanks in advance!

  • A quick update: the Recruitment manager confirmed in an email that the bonus would have been paid after 3 months of employment, so due in November. He handed in his notice on the 16th November and left the 17th November. The candidate is referred started the 24th July. We have decided not to pay because he was leaving. Is this correct? Sorry for alll these questions, but we currently don't have a Head of HR so I need some support!
