Staffline Recruitment Ltd and GXO Logistics UK Ltd

Case Summary

The claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal was struck out because she did not have the minimum two years of service required by section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 to bring such a claim. The tribunal found the claimant had failed to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out.

The claimant lacked the statutory two-year service requirement under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 necessary to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, having been employed for less than two years.
