£35mil payout, 800 workings that's 45k ea. Granted rough but it's well in to five figures.
So that negates my rough 45k but no worker would receive less that £15k which is five figures.
But everyone got in a five figure region as the minimum so that makes no sense at all.
Got to wonder why the other 799 accepted a pay out. P&O broke the law so all 800 had them over a barrell. First offer of pay out is always a low baller and they would undoubtedly get more when facing court and I would bet more if it went to court. So why on earth did the other 799 accept? Surely it would have been a no brainer to go to the next level? Someone (or 799) people fecked up I'd say.
Their offer is presented as the only option.
I was hoping one of the big employment lawyers would do a no win no fee and ream P&O like they were NLyUK with a strap on.
He was offered less than his salary.
But Mr Lansdown, a sous-chef from Kent on cross-Channel routes, refused as he would have taken no more than his £30,827 annual salary.
After a six-month legal battle, the company conceded that no consultation took place before Mr Lansdown was sacked and that he was in fact unfairly dismissed.
A slight catch from the settlement, however, is that Mr Lansdown agreed not to disclose the sum paid to him but it is understood to be substantially higher than the pay-off he refused.Last edited by vetran; 5 October 2022, 15:13.

Reports at the time said that no worker would receive less than £15,000 while more than 40 were in line for compensation higher than £100,000.
-John Lansdown, 40, sued P&O on the grounds of unfair dismissal and has won an out-of-court settlement, believed to be in the five-figure region.
