Mr G Broad v Sansum Solutions Group Limited — 2026

Employment Judge Moor upheld Mr G Broad’s unfair dismissal complaint and breach of contract claim for dismissal without notice against Sansum Solutions Group Limited. Mr Broad represented himself at the video hearing on 12 May 2026; the respondent did not attend. The accrued but untaken holiday pay claim was dismissed upon withdrawal because the amount had been paid. Reasons were given orally at the hearing.

The calculation recorded gross monthly pay of £3,510 and net monthly pay of £2,832.48. For the basic award, a week’s pay was capped at £700. The tribunal calculated four times 1.5 times £700, producing £4,200, then applied a 20% uplift to reach £5,040.

Past earnings loss comprised £4,842.38 for full loss from 26 June to 18 August, £2,760.94 for partial loss from 19 August 2025 to 18 January 2026, and £941.64 for partial loss from 19 January to 12 May 2026. The partial-loss calculations used the reduced salary Mr Broad would have received had he remained employed, with annual net pay of £30,246, against net earnings from subsequent work. Total past loss was £8,544.96, increased to £10,253.95 by a 20% uplift.

Future earnings loss used an annual net shortfall of £2,246.40, calculated at 60% through to pension age on 8 July 2028. Including a 20% uplift, this produced £3,487.40. Lost employer pension contributions were calculated up to the second job, after which the loss was described as de minimis. That component was £779.14 after a 20% uplift.

The compensatory award totalled £14,520.49. Together with the £5,040 basic award, the respondent was ordered to pay £19,560.49. No additional notice damages were awarded because earnings loss for the same period already covered them. Recoupment did not apply because Mr Broad had not claimed relevant benefits.
