As mentioned above, thre are servere restrictions on how the award a tribunal can make must be caluclated.

 

Ask for too much and the employer will more thanlikely face you at the tribunal.

 

3 things that need to be considered.

 

1) A rough estimate should be to estimate the top end award the tribunal would make IF you won

 

2) Estimate the costs of the defendent if it went to tribunal

 

3) The % chance of sucesss for either side.

 

IF it is a 50/50 or more against them and the costs are about the same value as the upper award then they *May* settle for a similar value

 

IF they have a majority % of winning they will prob settle for far less if at all

 

IF you demand more than 1 + 2 they will face you either way

Thanks very much. I know it's sour grapes but I'm really narked at how much the solicitors are getting for how little work they actually ended up doing lol. Ah well, I'd have had nothing if not for them so can't really moan I gues

Glad you got it sorted and without the solicitor you would not have got a penny sorry to be so blunt.

 

As a union rep myself, I was looking at your first post and agree that as you started in 2012 even given the new full time contract you should have been on as starting 2012 however, they could have ended your previous term of employment then started you on a new contract from 2014.

 

Terms and conditions, if you started there after this date or that date they could amend your terms of conditions, however to expect you to work over 40 hours at normal time when others were getting time and a half would seem discriminatory unless the contract stated after X amount of months any overtime would be paid at time and a quarter then time and a half.

 

As for the complaint they had about you they must be a great employer if you can do something when you are not even there that made me chuckle.

 

Anyway, hope they pay off gives you a good Xmas.

 

Regards Bill

No bill the contract didn't have any kind of timeframe for increasing the overtime. They just wanted me on a lesser contract and refused to even discuss it or even listen to my complaint in a formal setting which I think went some way to stitching up their case. To refuse to even acknowledge a legitimately formally raised grievance is out of order in anyone's book

The solicitors will have done many cases where they take it all the way to Tribunal, do lots of work, lose and then get paid nothing ... they win some and they lose some!

Little bit of info that's come to light today. Apparently my former employer isn't the one paying me. Apparently the third part hr advisory service 'misadvised' my former employer to believe they could dismiss me legally. So my former employe has some sort of insurance to make them pay the settlement due to poor advise! That's quite amusing :)
