Building merchant Jewson has been ordered to pay out almost £400,000 in compensation for failing to make reasonable workplace adjustments after a branch manager suffered a stroke. Jonathan Jones, who was employed by Jewson at its outlet in Cardigan in Wales, suffered a stroke in April 2009 and was dismissed on the grounds of incapacity after five months of sick leave...After the stroke, Jones’s doctor said the manager needed to avoid stress at work. Jones and his area director, in conjunction with Jewson’s human resources department, agreed that no role at the firm was going to be without stress and the company dismissed him...At a liability hearing...an employment tribunal in Cardiff decided the dismissal was unfair and amounted to disability discrimination by reason of failure to make reasonable adjustments...[T]he tribunal ordered Jewson to pay Jones £390,870, including £15,000 for injury to feelings.
