Approved by: REMEDY JUDGMENT[1]The claimant having been unfairly dismissed as determined at the last hearing, an order for reinstatement is made pursuant to section 114 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.[2]The Claimant shall be reinstated with effect from 11th December 2025, subject only to the Claimant having by that date, satisfied the Respondent’s vetting requirements for identification and right to work in the UK, into his role as Operational Postal Grade (OPG) Worker at the Ipswich Sorting Office. The parties have agreed the initial role and working hours which have changed for operational reasons since the Claimant last worked.[3]The Claimant is reinstated at his pre-dismissal rate of pay with full benefits as if he has not been dismissed including by the application of any uplift increase or other change to his rate of pay since dismissal.
