It is "classed" as a discretionary bonus... but laugh as you may, I never did receive a contract of employment at all from my current firm - just a letter stating "we'll av ya" and start date, pay and holidays...
Things would be much clearer if I had a contract like yours Nick.
I'm thinking it aint worth the bother then really.
Onwards and forwards to bigger and better things. :)

Fine if you got a definitive black and white bit of paper stating this clearly - I never did...
And 6 months notice?!!?!?!? What do you do that requires you for a 6 month notice period???
I'd love to write a letter/e-mail for the satisfaction at least, but then again, I may need my current company for future references... I'm guessing you have not needed to?
