That is the net sum and any tax due (for sums for which the employer is responsible) is the respondent’s responsibility.[2]The claimant’s dismissal was unfair.[3]The claimant is awarded a basic award of £570 uplifted by 25% for the respondent’s unreasonable failure to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures of 25% (£142.50).
