Case Summary

The claimant brought claims for unauthorised wage deductions, holiday pay, breach of contract regarding notice and expenses, and unfair dismissal against Honeybee People Limited in liquidation. The tribunal found the first four complaints well-founded and awarded £1,371 in total compensation. The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed because the claimant lacked the required 2 years' qualifying service.

Why this outcome?

No qualifying employment period

The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed because the claimant lacked the necessary 2 years' qualifying service required by section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The other claims for unauthorised wage deductions, holiday pay, and breach of contract relating to notice and expenses were all found to be well-founded and succeeded.
