This is a remedy hearing following a finding of unfair dismissal at an earlier merits hearing. The tribunal has determined the appropriate compensation for the successful unfair dismissal claim.

Facts

This is a remedy hearing following a previous finding of unfair dismissal. The claimant's employment ended on 30 November 2023. The tribunal calculated compensation including a basic award, loss of wages for the period up to the hearing date, pension losses, and loss of statutory rights.

Decision

The tribunal awarded total compensation of £4,889.31 comprising a basic award of £1,929 and a compensatory award of £2,960.31. The compensatory award included loss of wages, pension contributions, and loss of statutory rights. Recoupment provisions apply to the prescribed element of £2,295.72.

Practical note

A modest unfair dismissal award reflecting a relatively short period of loss, with recoupment applying to protect state benefits paid during unemployment.
