O’Kane v Model Group (NI) Ltd [2022]

The claimant was employed by the respondent from 18th January 2021 until the termination of her employment on 13th April 2021. She was employed as the Regional Operations Director for the respondent. The claimant was not given any precise reason for the dismissal but she had raised a number of issues, which she felt were important.   

The issue arose in relation to pay that should have been received in the event of terminating employment. The claimant’s contract outlined a salary of £60,000 per annum with a notice period of 3 months by either party to the contract. This was a draft contract before taking up employment but no full contract was ever received by the claimant.
