In
a recent decision an Employment Tribunal has found against an NHS employer who
tried to defer automatic annual pay increments for staff who has been off sick
for more than the agreed periods.
Whilst many employers may feel that this was
a reasonable step to take the Tribunal disagreed and found the approach was in
breach of the employees contracts. It may be that the days of automatic annual
pay increments are numbered in these harder financial times.
There is an
argument that salaries should only increase when linked to actual performance
however in the meantime for any employer unlucky enough to have this system in
place another reason to beware!
