Operator taken to Tribunal for protective awards breach

Six employees, who lost their jobs when a Norfolk coach firm went into liquidation last year, have been awarded a total of at least £22,000 combined.

The former employees, mostly drivers, had been employed by Chenery Travel, which stopped trading in June 2016.

They made legal claims for protective awards at Norwich Employment Tribunal after claiming they had been “kept in the dark” over details concerning their employment.

Protective awards are the legal jargon for wages awarded under the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act where employees complain their employer failed to keep them informed about the future of their jobs.

Tribunal Judge John Postie has ruled the employees’ legal claims for protective awards well founded.

He said he was satisfied that the firm had not fully complied with the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act over the future of the firm and awarded each claimant the equivalent of 90 days’ pay after deciding that collective consultations had not been properly carried out.

The individual amounts vary, depending on length of service and job standard. The Government limit for protective awards, however, is £380 and most of the employees’ wages are believed to be well in that bracket.

Chenery Travel, in Wellesley Road, Long Stratton, was formed more than 60 years ago. Four years ago, it sold part of its business to Galloway Travel Group in Suffolk.

The firm did not attend the hearing and was not represented.
