Supreme Court judgement on missed bonuses
On Wednesday 24th October 2012 the Supreme Court has ordered that a total of 174 female ex-Birmingham City Council workers may proceed with compensation claims over missed bonuses (thus lower pay) after Birmingham council lost a court appeal. In this landmark judgement the Supreme Court rejected the council's argument that the claims should have been to an Employment Tribunal made within six months of the women leaving their jobs. The former female workers now have six years to submit their compensation claims. The claims relate to the fact that although the women were paid the same salaries as men the women were not offered bonuses of up to £15,000 that the women weren't entitled to and never received.
