About 20% of my pay in an average year is a performance-related bonus. Performance is tracked throughout the year and then normalised across the company at the end of the year.
I went on maternity in May. Up until that point (nearly 6 months in) I had very good scores. I also worked really bloody hard! However I did not have a mid or end of year review as I wasn’t at work.
At bonus calculating time to my surprise I was given a tiny bonus, equivalent to people who had had bad scores. I expected a pro rated bonus based on my good scores, which would have been much higher.
Does anyone know if this is discriminatory of my employer? I raised it with my line manager, he followed up with leadership but I’ve heard nothing since. Tia
