GEORGIA:
Hello all,
I worked for a company that hired me as a Supply Chain Inventory Analyst officially starting January 2nd, 2018. In my offer of employment I was offered a bonus that would pay out quarterly that was used to meet my salary expectations. My base salary was much lower than what me and my manager discussed with the condition that the bonus would compensate me in addition my base salary. This is how most if not all employees of the company are paid.
I resigned from my position effective April 2nd, 2018. Today I learned my former colleagues all received their bonus checks. When I called to see if I would be receiving one as well, I was informed that I was denied entitlement for the first quarter bonus.
I NEVER signed an employment contract with this company. I NEVER received an employee handbook. Nor was I made aware of any stipulations, requirements, or terms specifically regarding entitlement to the bonus. This also means I dont know if I was an at-will employee or not.
The only thing I signed was my offer letter which detailed that I would receive a bonus every quarter. Again, no further detail other bonus teir level is mentioned. I have no way of quantifying the amount of the bonus other than the phone discussion I had with my manager about how much that would be. (We discussed Approx. $18,500 annually pre tax - or $4,625 quarterly pre tax)
I can post the offer letter with names and other personal info omitted if necessary.
I need help because I dont know if I should pursue a case or not.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
