REASONS

[2]Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a Claimant to have not less than two years’ service to make an unfair dismissal complaint.[3]The Claimant was employed by the respondent for less than two years.[4]Therefore, the Claimant is not entitled to bring such a complaint.[5]The Claimant has failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out.[6]Accordingly, the complaint of unfair dismissal is struck out. The Claimant’s other complaints are not affected by this judgment. ________________________ Regional Employment Judge Pirani Date: 13 November 2018 Case No: 1403649/2018 EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Claimant: Ms A Respondent: Mr B Heard at: Exeter On: 9 August 2019 Before: Employment Judge Fowell Mrs S Richards Ms R A Clarke Representation: Claimant Mr T Falcao of Stephens Scown LLP Respondent Mr S Hoyle of Croner Group Ltd REMEDY JUDGMENT Following judgment on liability sent to the parties on 28 June 2019:[1]The respondent’s application for a reconsideration of that judgment is refused.[2]Compensation is awarded for sexual harassment as follows:(a) Injury to feelings £28,000(b) Interest at 8% per year over 402 days £2,467.07[3]Compensation of two weeks’ loss of earnings is awarded for the respondent’s failure to issue a statement of employment particulars, in the sum of £344.50 The total sum awarded is therefore £30,811.57
