Article 27: Failure to give statements of employment particulars, etc.: industrial tribunals
Article 27 makes it mandatory for industrial tribunals, in dealing with claims under jurisdictions specified in Schedule 4, to make certain awards where an incomplete or inaccurate written statement has been provided. Industrial tribunals are required to increase the award by 2 or 4 weeks’ pay, or to award 2 or 4 weeks’ pay where compensation is not a possible or desirable remedy. The decision as to whether to award 2 or 4 weeks’ pay is a matter for the tribunal’s discretion. No award need be made or increased if the tribunal considers such a course of action unjust or inequitable.
