8 Jul 2026 Hutchison Technologies LtdTribunal: Hutchison Technologies dismissed employee after she raised holiday pay concerns United KingdomRetaliation against whistleblowers Other

An employee of the Dundee-based electrical services provider for gyms (around 140 employees) had pointed out that the technicians' holiday pay was being calculated incorrectly; a few days later her home working arrangement was withdrawn, and on 11 June 2025 she was dismissed. The Employment Tribunal upheld her claims for automatically unfair dismissal (s. 103A) and detriment (s. 47B); compensation will be decided separately.

What organisations can take from it

Employers who worsen working conditions shortly after a disclosure must be able to prove a documented reason unrelated to the disclosure.
