If I leave now?

Alain Prost · Post by **Alain Prost** » 23 Jan 2018, 15:46

If I left within the next 4 weeks would I loose out on the back dated pay rise/back dated lump sum or would I still be paid this?

TIA.

Depends on the exact wording of the agreement, it's not a simple yes or no.

If there is an "in post" date that you need to be still employed then the day you leave and the day they chose will decide the matter.

If they backdate the pay ward for all current employees, then it depends on if you have left or not.

If they state all employees employed at the start of the year. Then in this case - yes.

If they state the pay award is backdated to 1 April and you have already left then as effectively you ended the contract voluntarily - in this case, no.

I'd be very very surprised if any final agreement (for backdating pay) included anyone who has left the business but as TBT wisely states we would need to see the wording on any agreement. With my planned retirement looming in less than 3 months this backdating (assuming it happens) is something that may cause me to alter my plans re specific dates

is a few hundred quid worth waiting for if you have something else lined up?

With reguards to leaving, anyone know the percentage of new recruits that leave the job within a year. As it is very high in our office.

We had 10 start just before Christmas and only one remains I really think they are going to have a staff retention problem in the coming years due mainly to the way they treat people

Employers are legally obliged to pay everything owing to leavers, and if someone meets the qualifying criteria (of the award) they'll be paid.
RM being RM, you may have to contact the pay group and remind them...

If it's backdated pay (which it will be) you'll be entitled to it up until your leaving date.
It's only usually with lump sums that a cut off staff in post date applies.
As Tman points out you'll probably have to do some chasing.

No s**t and they only reason I am staying is for the pay off when the kid's cannot do the job any more why should a 50 year old be expected to do it!
