Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found the notice pay breach of contract complaint well-founded. It ordered Ford Mainwaring Limited to pay Mr H Jones £1,321.92 as damages, calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood of tax on Post Employment Notice Pay.
The tribunal dismissed the breach of contract complaint about failure to provide apprenticeship training, finding it was not well-founded. It also found that the respondent was not in breach of its duty under s38 Employment Act 2002 to provide a written statement of employment particulars.
At the outset of the hearing, the tribunal decided a preliminary issue and did not strike out the apprenticeship training breach of contract complaint under Employment Tribunal Rule 37(1)(a) on the ground of no reasonable prospect of success.
