    Default When Can an Employer Change an Incentive Bonus Program

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Texas. I signed a incentive bonus agreement when I began employment. I have not received any of the bonus that I have now earned. I am still employed with them because the base pay is good but of course I want what is owed to me. When I ask about it I am told that they are restructuring the bonus chart. Can they change the agreement can if we initially signed a contract and how can I go about pursuing when I am still employed with them?

    This is one case where you are going to have to take your agreement to a local employment attorney to see if it rises to the level of a legal contract. Did the agreement have a specific amount or did you have a bonus chart/plan attached at the time? Did they ever inform you the bonus was being restructured/changed/amended (since hire prior to earning it based on the conditions to earn it)? There are ways to write and change agreements so the only real way to know is to have a lawyer look at it.

    You could make a wage claim to the state, but at this point that is tantamount to shooting a cannon at a balloon.....

    Yes. There was a chart and percentage breakdown provided. 6 months into employment I was notified that a "restructure" was being implemented. Thank you very much. A attorney reviewing the signed agreement seems like the best thing to do to gain a better understand of all circumstances.
