Hi I have just received a bonus from work in my pay of £1200 and have wrote a letter to inform them. This bonus is not always regular it all depends on getting a 100% turnover every month and then if targets are reached we get it every quarter. My worry is that we do not have enough to be on a IPA as we only have £10 a month Disposible income, can they add this in if its not garuenteede income.
Also we have had to borrow money to pay for a vet bill of £300 as the dog needed an op and i have the bill to prove it. is it ok to mention it in the letter as i really want to pay my mum the £300 back Also other living expenses have increased and if and when i receive a bonus it helps with the extras if not we would not manage.
ok here is the letter, any advice would be good. Thanks
Dear..
I am writing to notify you that i have received a bonus in my january pay of £1200 after tax. I was not expecting this bonus as it is based on us getting a 100% turnover on both of the franchises i deal with. We now have new management who have taken over, so not sure if i will get anymore bonuses but i will of course notify you if i do.
I have put this money to one side incase you want to take it but i would just like to mention that i have just had a vet bill of £300 and also my gas and electric bill have gone up by £20 a month, also my rent for the house is going up by £25 a month soon. I would be gratefull if you could take this into consideration.
You've done the right thing by informing the OR. I would sugegst wait for their reply before doing abything with the money. Please bear in mind that you can always negotiate with the OR if you have grounds.
