JUDGMENT

[1]The claimant was unfairly dismissed and her claim of unfair dismissal succeeds. The claimant contributed to her dismissal; it would be just and equitable to reduce by 60% the compensation awarded.[2]The claimant is awarded £3,195.20 for unfair dismissal, made up of: 2.1. a basic award after the reduction of £1,890. 2.2. a compensatory award after the reduction of £1,305.20.[3]The claimant’s complaint of unauthorised deduction in respect of pay for two keeping in touch days in June 2019 succeeds. The complaint was presented out of time but it was not reasonably practicable to present it in time, and it was presented within such further period as the tribunal considers reasonable.[4]The claimant is awarded £341.26 (two days’ pay) in respect of the unauthorised deductions. This is the gross figure, payment after deductions for tax and NI will satisfy this debt.[5]The claimant’s other complaints of unauthorised deduction from wages and her complaints of sex and maternity discrimination fail and are dismissed.
