Employment Tribunal Win query

[Cimaguy]

Is a tribunal win relating to bonus paid gross or net? I ask as its an 'award' by the judge.

Forgetting the employment tribunal then bonuses paid via payroll land in your bank account net.

If they are your former employer how do they not have your bank details? I guess you have changed bank since you left but this doesn’t change the situation. The award is taxable.

As you're not on payroll of former employer, how would they be able to pay the tax and NI or you?

[Cimaguy]

I was employed with them about 3 years ago!

Also they unsuccessfully claimed for legal costs. The judge rejected it however is there any chance they can attempt to claim it through other routes?

It'll be paid gross and you'll have to declare it on a tax return.

As far as I can remember, you can’t recover legal costs incurred as part of an employment tribunal.

You can apply for costs but they're rarely awarded. More chance to get costs for an employer if it's a vexatious claim.

They claimed it was a vexatious claim however the judge didn't see it like so for a few reasons, firstly because HR messed up in several areas. Had they addressed the issues I raised it would not have reach a tribunal. The judge and her aids all rejected the request. Thankfully!! They wanted to claim £25k from me.

I'm looking forward to getting the money from them. I don't know how long it will take. I'll give them sometime however will escalate it to the CEO if they behave like aholes.

In line with HMRC guidance, a payment after leaving should use tax code ‘0T’ on a week 1/month 1 basis.

[Cimaguy]

Okay however isn't it an award and not a payment of 'bonus'?

[edc]

An award doesn't automatically attract zero rate tax

They paid the bonus into my bank account without tax. I had to declare in my SA.
