Unfair Dismissal Compensation Calculation
Summary
Unfair dismissal claims can include a basic award and a compensatory award. The basic award is calculated based on age, length of service, and weekly pay. The compensatory award covers financial losses like lost wages and benefits. If dismissed for health and safety concerns, it may be automatically unfair, even with less than two years of service. Compensation can also consider missed pay raises and part-time earnings. Delays in court proceedings may affect financial strain and interest accumulation on compensation. For personalized advice, consult a local employment attorney.Full Conversation

Certainly! A hostile witness is a witness in a legal proceeding who shows antagonism or opposition to the party that called them to testify. This type of witness may be reluctant or uncooperative in providing testimony that supports the calling party's case. The court may grant permission to the calling party to treat the witness as hostile, allowing them to ask leading questions.

Dear [Recipient’s Name],
I am writing to address the outcome of my disciplinary hearing, in which it was stated that I was dismissed for refusing to carry out a task involving entry into confined spaces (ballistic separator) due to health and safety concerns.
I believe this dismissal breaches my rights under Section * of the Employment Rights Act. My refusal was based on the following valid concerns:
*. The emergency plan solely relies on calling *, which is insufficient and puts employees at significant risk.
*. Confined space regulations stipulate that a stand-by person and first aid personnel, who are appropriately trained in confined space rescue, should be present. This requirement was not met.
*. A gas reading must be conducted before entry into any confined space, including open vessels, in accordance with confined space regulations. This was not adhered to.
Failing to meet these requirements jeopardizes employee safety. Moreover, relying on the fire service for rescue operations would necessitate reporting to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), as it indicates a breach of health and safety regulations.
The lack of adherence to these safety measures not only violates legal regulations but also undermines the safety of all employees involved in such tasks.
I urge you to reconsider the decision and address these significant safety concerns to ensure a safer working environment.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

I am [Your Name], and I am here today to present my case of unfair dismissal under Section * of the Employment Rights Act. I was dismissed from my position for refusing to perform a task that involved entering a confined space, specifically a ballistic separator, due to legitimate health and safety concerns.
My refusal was based on the following grounds:
*. The emergency plan in place was to call *, which I believe is insufficient and places employees at significant risk.
*. Confined space regulations require the presence of a stand-by person and first aid personnel trained in confined space rescue. This requirement was not met.
*. According to confined space regulations, a gas reading must be conducted before entry into any confined space, including open vessels. This was not adhered to.
Failing to meet these safety requirements jeopardizes employee safety. Additionally, relying on the fire service for rescue operations would necessitate reporting to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), indicating a breach of health and safety regulations.
I argue that my dismissal was unfair and that my concerns were valid and in line with legal regulations aimed at ensuring employee safety. Therefore, I seek redress for this unfair dismissal and urge the court to consider the significant safety lapses involved.

the part about fire service is this true
Case Rating: *
Yes, the part about the fire service is generally correct. Here’s why:

how much compension should i ask for if i was dismissed in */*/*
Case Rating: *
The amount of compensation you should ask for in an unfair dismissal case can vary depending on multiple factors, including your length of service, your salary, and the circumstances surrounding your dismissal. Here are some general guidelines:
- Basic Award: Calculated based on your age, length of service, and weekly pay. The maximum basic award is £*,*.
- Compensatory Award: Covers financial loss due to the dismissal (e.g., loss of wages, benefits). The maximum compensatory award is £*,* or * weeks’ gross salary (whichever is lower).
Would you like more specific information on how these amounts are calculated?
if i was paid at *.*
Case Rating: *
If you were paid £*.* per hour, here's a general idea of how your compensation might be calculated:
- Basic Award: Based on your age, length of service, and weekly pay.
- Compensatory Award: Covers financial loss due to dismissal (e.g., lost wages, benefits).
Would you like a more detailed calculation based on your specific circumstances?
yes i am *, * at the time birthday in September i was on *.* per hour, * hours a week i was workign for the company for 18months
Case Rating: *
To calculate your potential compensation, we need to cover both the Basic Award and the Compensatory Award.
Basic Award:
-
Age: * at the time of dismissal
-
Length of service: 18 months
-
Weekly pay: £*.* * * hours = £*.*
The basic award is calculated as follows:
- *.* weeks' pay for each year of employment after age *
- * week's pay for each year of employment between ages * and *
- *.* week's pay for each year of employment under age *
Since you have *.5 years of service at age *, you would get:
- *.* * * week's pay (since you were between * and *) = *.* * £*.* = £*.*
Compensatory Award:
This covers your financial losses due to the dismissal. This includes:
- Lost wages: From the date of dismissal to the hearing date or until you find another job.
- Benefits: Any lost benefits (e.g., pension contributions).

- Length of service: 18 months
- Weekly pay: £*.* * * hours = £*.*
Calculation:
- *.* weeks' pay for *.5 years of service: *.* * £*.* = £*.*
Compensatory Award:
- Lost wages: If you find another job in 6 months, it's £*.* * * weeks = £*,*.* (estimate)
- Benefits: Any additional lost benefits can be added.
Total compensation could be around £*,* (Basic Award + Compensatory Award).
This is a rough estimate and may vary based on specific circumstances and additional lost benefits.
i was working part time from April and earned around *.*.* also, I missed out on a pay raise in April, which was *.* per hour
Case Rating: *
I can provide some general guidelines on calculating your potential compensation based on the part-time work and missed pay raise.
Basic Award:
- Age: *
- Length of service: 18 months
- Weekly pay: £*.* * * hours = £*.*
- Calculation: *.* weeks' pay for *.5 years of service: *.* * £*.* = £*.*
Compensatory Award:
- Lost wages: If you find another job in 6 months, it's £*.* * * weeks = £*,*.* (estimate)
- Adjust for part-time earnings and missed pay raise:
- Part-time earnings: £*,*.*
- Missed pay raise: Difference between £*.* and £*.* over the period
Total Compensation:
- Basic Award: £*.*
- Compensatory Award: Adjusted for part-time earnings and missed pay raise.
Would you like more details on how to adjust the compensatory award?

Dear [Recipient’s Name],
I am writing to present my schedule of loss following my unfair dismissal under Section * of the Employment Rights Act *. Below is the detailed breakdown of the compensation I am seeking.
Basic Award:
- Age: *
- Length of Service: 18 months
- Weekly Pay: £*.* * * hours = £*.*
- Calculation: *.* weeks' pay for *.5 years of service: *.* * £*.* = £*.*
Compensatory Award:
- Lost Wages: £*.* * * weeks = £*,*.*
- Part-time Earnings: £*,*.*
- Lost Wages Adjustment: £*,*.* - £*,*.* = £*,*.*
- Missed Pay Raise:
- Difference between £*.* and £*.* = £*.* per hour
- £*.* * * hours/week * * weeks = £*
- Research and Preparation Time: * hours at £*/hour = £*,*
Total Compensation:
- Basic Award: £*.*
- Adjusted Compensatory Award: £*,*.* + £* + £*,* = £*,*.*
- Total: £*.* (Basic Award) + £*,*.* (Compensatory Award) = £*,*.*
Additionally, the delay of my court case until May has the following potential effects:
- Financial Strain: Prolonged financial loss due to ongoing unemployment.
- Preparation Time: More time to gather evidence and strengthen my case.
- Interest Accumulation: Potential interest on compensation (if awarded).
In summary, I am seeking a total compensation of £*,*.*, which includes both the basic and compensatory awards. This amount accounts for the financial losses I have incurred due to my dismissal, including lost wages, missed pay raise, and the time taken to research and prepare my case.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
