Mr V Ndongola v Harrison Spinks Beds Ltd: 1805180/2022
JUDGMENT
[1]The claimant was unfairly dismissed by the respondent.[2]Had the respondent conducted an appropriate consultancy exercise there was a chance the claimant would have been dismissed by reason of redundancy and the compensatory award shall be reduced by a third to reflect that.[3]The respondent shall pay to the claimant compensation in the sum of £3,647.68 by way of compensatory award. That is to reflect losses of earnings and employer’s pension contributions from 27 May 2022 to 3 June 2022, being three weeks full loss of £932.16, and from 28 June 2022 to 16 December 2022 of £4,039.36. To that is added a sum of £500 for loss of statutory rights. Those sums are reduced in accordance with paragraph 2.[4]The claimant received universal credit and the recoupment provisions apply. The prescribed element is £3,147.68 and the prescribed period from 27 May 2022 to 28 March 2023. The total award exceeds the prescribed element by £500.
