JUDGMENT
The claim for a redundancy payment, and unfair dismissal are struck out.REASONS
[1]The claimant claims a redundancy payment and also complains of unfair dismissal.[2]Section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 states that employees do not have the right to a redundancy payment unless they have been employed for two years or more. Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have not less than two years’ service to make an unfair dismissal complaint.[3]The claimant was employed by the respondent for less than two years.[4]Therefore, the claimant does not have the right to a redundancy payment and is not entitled to bring a claim of unfair dismissal.[5]The claimant was given the opportunity to explain why the claim for a redundancy payment or unfair dismissal should not be struck out but has not given an acceptable reason.[6]Accordingly, the claim for a redundancy payment, and unfair dismissal is struck out. The claimant’s other complaints are not affected by this judgment. Approved by
