M Udoma v LJ Health and Wellbeing: 2402102/2024
JUDGMENT
The complaint about a redundancy payment is struck out.REASONS
[1]The claimant claims a redundancy payment.[2]Section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have not less than 2 years’ service to make an unfair dismissal complaint.[3]The claimant was employed by the respondent for less than 2 years. Therefore, the claimant is not entitled to bring a complaint about redundancy pay.[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. Accordingly, the complaint about redundancy pay is struck out.[6]The claimant’s other complaint, of unauthorised deductions from wages, is not affected by this judgment and shall proceed to a hearing to be notified.
