STATUTORY DISCIPLINE AND GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
Impact on compensation
The Employment Tribunal decided that the employee had been unfairly dismissed because he had complained of an earlier act of race discrimination and had been dismissed in breach of the standard dismissal and disciplinary procedure. The Employment Tribunal was found to have erred in a number of respects in its assessment of the employee’s compensation, including (a) applying a discount to the award to reflect when the employee was likely to have left his employment had he not been dismissed as well as a discount to reflect the chance that he might not have obtained as remunerative a job in the future, (b) awarding the employee aggravated damages, and (c) applying the maximum uplift of 50% to the award under section 31(3) of the Employment Act 2002.
