Claimant v Community Health Partnership Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the dismissal was fair. The judgment states the complaint of unfair dismissal is not well founded, indicating the respondent had a fair reason and followed a fair procedure in dismissing the claimant.
The tribunal found no breach of contract by the respondent. The complaint was not well founded, suggesting the respondent met its contractual obligations to the claimant upon termination.
The tribunal found the respondent had failed to pay the claimant accrued but untaken holiday pay. The claim succeeded with an award of £739.41 gross representing the unpaid holiday entitlement.
Facts
Mr Liddle was dismissed by Community Health Partnership Ltd and brought claims for unfair dismissal, breach of contract, and unpaid holiday pay. The hearing took place over four days via video link. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by counsel.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal and breach of contract claims, finding them not well founded. However, the holiday pay claim succeeded, with the tribunal awarding £739.41 gross representing accrued but unpaid holiday entitlement at termination.
Practical note
Even where dismissal is found to be fair and contractually compliant, employers must still ensure all statutory entitlements including accrued holiday pay are properly calculated and paid on termination.
