Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found the claimant's claims of disability discrimination and harassment well founded. It awarded £88.80 for unpaid overtime on 13 June 2022 with £14.41 interest, £40 for Mirtazapine, and £13,500 for injury to feelings. The £140 deposit paid by the claimant was ordered to be returned in full.
In respect of back sick pay and interest, the tribunal directed the respondent to calculate the amount due by 5 July 2024 for the claimant's approval by 12 July 2024, with the tribunal to determine the matter on written representations if the parties could not agree.
The tribunal made recommendations including that sickness absence arising from the claimant's disability of up to 36 days per year not be counted under the respondent's attendance policy, that the respondent arrange regular reviews with a senior HR manager independent of the claimant's line management to ensure the harassment is not repeated, and that the claimant's absence due to stress from 17 May to 24 September 2023 not be counted in calculating future sick pay entitlement.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
