Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out because the claimant had less than two years' continuous service, which is the minimum qualifying period required under s.108 Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant failed to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out.
Facts
The claimant was employed by ParentPay for less than two years before being dismissed. The claimant brought a claim for unfair dismissal along with other complaints. The respondent or tribunal identified that the claimant lacked the qualifying service required under s.108 Employment Rights Act 1996.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint because the claimant had less than two years' continuous employment. The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out but failed to provide an acceptable reason. Other complaints were unaffected.
Practical note
A claimant must have at least two years' continuous service to bring an ordinary unfair dismissal claim under s.108 ERA 1996, and failure to meet this threshold will result in the claim being struck out.
