When a bonus is an employer’s responsibility: law enforcement issues

Realizing the granted right at the local level to resolve issues of labor incentives, the employer must not only clearly fix in local regulations the conditions for the employee to receive incentive payments, but also carefully formulate individual contractual conditions. When dealing with remuneration issues, employers should keep in mind the general norms, principles of the institute of remuneration and the priority importance of the terms of the employment contract in determining remuneration obligations. Otherwise, in the event of an individual labor dispute, the employer will not be able to refer to acts of the local level, no matter how they formulate the conditions for receiving bonuses in detail.
