JUDGMENT

ON REMEDY Judgment having been issued in favour of the claimant on 18 July 2023; and following the hearing of oral evidence from the claimant; and the respondent not having sent a representative; the decision of the tribunal is that the respondent should pay to the claimant the following sums, tax free:(1) £7500 for injury to feelings for the two pregnancy discrimination claims of failure to carry out a maternity risk assessment and the dismissal. That award is between the middle and upper end of the current lower end of the Vento guidelines.

(2) The sum of £540 for loss of wages between the date of the claimant’s dismissal and the date that the claimant would have continued to work had she not been dismissed. This is calculated on the basis of the difference between the total of the wage and Universal Credit payment received by the claimant when she was working (about £600 every 4 weeks) and the Universal Credit payment she received after she was dismissed (about £330 every 4 weeks), the difference being £67.50 per week.

(3) Interest is payable at 8% on those sums. For the sake of convenience, 8% has been added to the total amount from the date of dismissal. There are 253 days from the date of dismissal to today’s date, which has been Case Number: 6000477/2023 divided by 365 and multiplied by 8% to give a figure of 0.055 x £8040 = £442.20 interest.

(4) The claimant is entitled to 2 weeks pay for the failure to provide written reasons for dismissal - £208.40. Her weekly wage was £104.20.

(5) The claimant is awarded four weeks pay for the failure to provide written particulars of employment - £416.80.

(6) The total award including interest to the date of this judgment on the Equality Act 2010 claims is £9107.40
