Mr R Chaudhary v British Airways plc: 3302693/2020
JUDGMENT
[1]The claim of unfair dismissal is not well founded. The respondent fairly dismissed the claimant.[2]Alternatively, even if the dismissal had been held to be procedurally unfair in the manner alleged, it would not be just and equitable to make any basic or compensatory award:a. The claimant would have been fairly dismissed following a fair disciplinary process; andb. The claimant contributed to his dismissal through blameworthy conduct and to such an extent that a 100% reduction would have been appropriate to any basic or compensatory award.[3]The respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages in the following amounts (which are expressed as gross sums and in relation to which the claimant is responsible for any income tax or employee national insurance contributions):a. £601.21 (in relation to a failure to honour salary increases in November 2018 and January 2019),b. £377.16 (In relation to arrears in relation to previous underpayments of holiday pay),c. £23.86 (in relation to two hours unpaid overtime),d. £320.83 (in relation to a 2019 bonus), and Case No: 3302693-2020 10.2 Judgment - rule 61 February 2018e. £538.36 (in relation to 43 hours unpaid holiday).
