Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This was a preliminary judgment dealing with an amendment application and the respondent's application to strike out parts of the claim as out of time. The tribunal did not allow the claimant to amend the claim to add an allegation of race discrimination about a request for time off to attend a funeral made on 19 December 2017.

On the respondent's strike-out application, the tribunal decided that the race discrimination allegation concerning the claimant's application for the Team Manager post, including an alleged failure to provide written feedback, had been brought in time and would proceed to the final hearing. Earlier discrimination allegations were to stand as background evidence only, as recorded at a previous preliminary hearing.

For the wages complaints, the tribunal struck out the complaint about alleged unauthorised deductions between 9 March and 25 May 2020 because it was out of time. The complaint about alleged unauthorised deductions in respect of split shifts was found to have been brought in time and was allowed to proceed, subject to the claimant providing particulars of the basis, dates, and amounts claimed.
