Wigan council hit with £72,000 compensation claim for 1 unfair dismissal claim

Incompetence hits Labour run Wigan council again as it's reported by Thompsons Solictors that they have recently dealt with an unfair dismissal claim, taking Wigan council to the cleaners for £72,000.

Jamie Humphries, from Thompsons Solicitors, said: “It is astonishing that the Council thought it right that our client should have to re-apply for the job she was already doing and then thought it right to dismiss her when she scored just below a competency bar of which the Council’s own Redeployment Procedure made no mention. We are happy to have been able to work with UNISON to secure the maximum amount of compensation possible and we hope this goes some way to help our client in dealing with the financial stress that her premature dismissal has cost her.”
