Hi Mike
Can you please help me to understand this.
Why an employee after his three year employment contract finished entitle to claim for compensation for unfair dismissal?
Thank you
OksanaHi Oxsana
This isn’t the finish of a three year contract. The employee has to have been in that employment for at least three years before s/he becomes entitled to be able to claim unfair dismissal
Possibly that employee had thought that s/he had a job for life, had worked for 4 years and was looking forward to another 30 years
Then, suddenly, for no good reason apparent to the employee, s/he found herself out of work – dismissed
OK?
Hi Mike
Thank you for that.
That question is from bpp study text
“Nick commences his employment udner a three year contract with Equis ltd on 1 August 20×6. On 30 June 20×9 he is given notice that the contract is not going to be renewed”
Required
Explain which claim Nick may be able to bring agains Equis ltd.Answer:
Nick is entitled to claim for redundancy pay and/or compensation for unfair dismissal if he can prove the requisite facts.That is what confuses me.
Could you please explain it to me.
Thank you
Oksana“Could you please explain it to me.” – not really
the only thing that I can imagine is that the sentence “Nick is entitled to claim for redundancy pay and/or compensation for unfair dismissal if he can prove the requisite facts” is setting up the rest of the answer that goes on to say that he can’t prove the requisite facts
What reference do you have for this question – I’d like to check it for myself?
Hi Mike
It is in BPP study text book, the question is on page 369, number 21, the answer is on page 377. That if you have an access to this book.
I think it is all about “the requisite facts”.
I’m just worrying if I get a question like that on the test I would say that he can’t claim any compensations as he had a contract and it’s finished.
Oksana
Yes …. but the element of “the requisite facts” puts that cat among the pigeons
I think you’re correct when you say “a contract for three years and now it’s finished”
