Claimant v Network Plus Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the claimant was unfairly dismissed. The respondent failed to follow fair procedures and the dismissal fell outside the range of reasonable responses available to a reasonable employer. The tribunal awarded the claimant compensation for the unfair dismissal.
Facts
Mr Goodwin was dismissed by Network Plus Limited. The respondent failed to provide written particulars of employment as required by law. The tribunal heard the case over two days in Manchester with the claimant representing himself and the respondent represented by a consultant.
Decision
The tribunal found the dismissal was unfair. The respondent failed to follow proper procedures and the decision to dismiss was outside the range of reasonable responses. The tribunal awarded basic and compensatory awards plus an additional award for failure to provide written employment particulars.
Practical note
Employers must follow fair procedures when dismissing employees and provide written statements of employment particulars, or face additional statutory awards even where compensatory losses are minimal.
