REASONS
1.The Facts
1.1 The claimant , born 16th December 1955 , was employed as a cleaner at a medical
practice initially by a Dr Mair from 1st January 2002. Her employment continued without
any break in service after Dr Mair’s retirement when Dr Arnett took over the practice .
On 11th November ( not October as stated in her claim form) 2016 the claimant was
told by the practice manager , Ms Brenda Cassidy , Dr Arnett was being struck off. He
ceased trading. All clinical staff were found other roles by the NHS . The claimant was
dismissed. Her pay at termination was £113.08 per week gross and net for a 16 hour
week . She was given no notice of termination , no redundancy payment and nothing for
her accrued but untaken annual leave.
