A question about : Boots sunday pay ruling 'unlawful'

Hello,

Last year Boots stopped paying double pay to its staff on sundays.Claiming bonuses coming into force etc would be more benficial .But it hasnt.In my case I have lost a quarter of my pay every month.

We have just stumbled across this last week that has found the move by Boots to reduce pay unlawful.

We do not belong to a union but are all long serving staff.We don't know what we should do now?

Management have not said anything.Could you please direct us.
Thank you

  • The case you refer to only effects those that were part of the action. I expected Boots to apply the ruling to everyone, in the knowledge that further actions would be likely to result in the same outcome. As they have not done this, I would suggest contacting HR to ask if they intend to remedy the situation informally, and if not you will need to issue a grievance. If they still will not comply, you can take them to tribunal, or possibly small claims, depending on how much the underpayment amounts to.
  • Thank you for your reply.I was wondering though if a precedent has been set will then this not affect the whole company? or is it just thoughs who took up the case?
