Dear Customer (name blocked for privacy),

Your bonus may be used to average your salary to show that you are receiving the minimum wage.

However, reducingnn your bonus MAY be another matter. It depends on how your work contract was worded.

Generally, if your work bonus was part of your contract, it cannot be arbitrarily reduced without producing another contgract or amendment.

 

 



YOUR PAYMENT AND BONUS IF ANY MAY BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE
