Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Mr Barnes' claim of unfair dismissal against Travelodge Hotels Limited was well founded and succeeded. The written judgment records that the respondent failed to follow a fair dismissal process.
For remedy, the tribunal calculated a basic award using weekly gross pay of £338, age 53 at dismissal, and five complete years of service. The compensatory award reflected loss from dismissal on 29 October 2019 until the claimant started a new role in the week commencing 14 April 2020, and the tribunal accepted that he properly tried to mitigate his loss.
The tribunal awarded a 20% uplift on the compensatory award because of the failure to follow a fair dismissal process, together with sums for loss of statutory rights and employer pension contributions. The total award was £11,693.02.
