Claimant v Peterborough Bakery Limited

The tribunal found the claim for constructive unfair dismissal well founded and upheld it. Reasons were given orally at the hearing. The claimant successfully established a fundamental breach of contract by the respondent that entitled him to resign and treat himself as dismissed.

The tribunal upheld the claim for unlawful deduction from wages for work done in February and March 2024. The respondent had failed to pay the claimant for work performed during these months, amounting to £913.17 net (approximately £1212.00 gross).

The tribunal upheld the claim for accrued untaken annual leave in the claimant's final leave year. The claimant was owed £720.00 gross for holiday entitlement that had accrued but not been taken before termination.

The tribunal upheld the notice pay claim, finding the respondent had breached the contract by failing to provide proper notice. However, no further damages fell due beyond those already awarded, likely because the claimant found new employment shortly after termination.
