Legal notice for an unpaid bonus or incentive

If your offer letter or incentive plan promised a bonus, commission or incentive and it was not paid, an advocate's notice sets out how it is calculated and asks for payment.

Use this if

  • The bonus or incentive was promised in writing
  • You met the conditions
  • The employer has not paid

What we ask before you pay

  • Plan or policy basis
  • Period
  • Target met
  • Amount you calculate
  • Employer replies

Documents to add after you pay

  • Offer letter or incentive plan
  • Payslips
  • Calculation emails and performance proof

Please note

A written plan plus proof you met the targets.

Can I send the notice after leaving?

Who writes the notice?
