Case Summary

The claimant brought claims for unfair dismissal, whistleblowing detriment, unlawful wage deductions, and failure to provide written particulars of employment. The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal and automatic unfair dismissal claims as not well founded, found the detriment claims out of time, but upheld the claims for unlawful deductions (£261.12) and failure to provide written particulars (£2,611.20), awarding a total of £2,872.32.

Why this outcome?

One claim dismissed on the merits

The tribunal found the unfair dismissal and automatic unfair dismissal claims not well founded on their merits. The detriment claims were rejected on jurisdictional grounds as being out of time.
