A round up of links to recent employment tribunal rulings, including compensation for employees at a printing firm who were not warned of redundancy, the failure of Gloucestershire Police to make reasonable adjustments for a dyslexic police officer and an unfair dismissal claim by a delivery driver who was caught urinating in public.
Following feedback from subscribers, XpertHR is now providing detailed reports of employment tribunal decisions. We've already covered age discrimination in redundancy [subscription required] and disability discrimination in the police [subscription required]. In November, we will be covering unfair dismissal in selection for redundancy.
As a result, we are now keeping a closer eye on what employment tribunal decisions are making the news. Here are links to some of the cases that have been reported in the press from 17 to 30 October 2009.
