Case Summary

The tribunal found the claimant was unfairly dismissed by OP Mobility Exterior UK Limited, but rejected claims of automatically unfair dismissal on whistleblowing grounds and race discrimination. The tribunal determined there was a 75% chance the claimant would have been fairly dismissed in any event. The complaint regarding holiday pay was upheld, finding an unauthorised deduction of 3 days of accrued holiday pay.

Why this outcome?

Dismissal found fair

The claimant was unfairly dismissed because the tribunal found the dismissal process was flawed, though there was a 75% chance he would have been fairly dismissed if proper procedures had been followed. The claims of automatically unfair dismissal on whistleblowing grounds and race discrimination were rejected as not well founded. The holiday pay complaint was upheld as an unauthorised deduction.
