Claimant v DHL Services Limited

The tribunal found the respondent did not fail to make reasonable adjustments in relation to arranging colleague assistance with lifting, permitting scanning work only, providing an electric pump truck, or redeploying to a non-lifting role. Additionally, the claim was presented outside the statutory time limit and the tribunal found it was not just and equitable to extend time, meaning the tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear it.

The tribunal found the respondent did not discriminate against the claimant because of her disability when sending her home and/or refusing to allow her to continue working on 4 October 2021. The claim was also out of time and the tribunal found it was not just and equitable to extend time, depriving the tribunal of jurisdiction.

The tribunal found that while the respondent did discriminate by sending the claimant home on 4 October 2021 because of something arising from her disability, this action was a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim and therefore justified. The claim was also out of time and the tribunal found it was not just and equitable to extend time.

The claimant's complaint that the respondent refused to permit her to exercise her right to paid annual leave for the period 22 September 2022 to 3 October 2022 under regulations 13 or 13A of the Working Time Regulations 1998 was not well-founded.

The claimant's complaint that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from her wages for some or all of the period between 4 October 2021 and 18 December 2022 was not well-founded.
