Labour Court rejects Alan O’Connor’s €800 pro-rata bonus claim

The Labour Court rejected Alan O’Connor’s €800 pro-rata bonus claim against Accent Solutions after his redundancy. In a determination dated 15 March 2022, it found the bonus was not shown to be properly payable when his employment ended. O’Connor relied on a 2008 pro-rata payment to support his claim. The Court found that this did not establish entitlement to a bonus on departure, given an earlier letter specified an annual April payment. It upheld the Adjudication Officer’s decision that the complaint was not well founded.
