# The Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996, Article 125: Complaints to industrial tribunal


(1) A complaint may be presented to an industrial tribunal by an employee on the ground that—
(a) the employer unreasonably failed to provide a written statement under Article 124, or
(b) the particulars of reasons given in purported compliance with that Article are inadequate or untrue.
(2) Where an industrial tribunal finds a complaint under this Article well-founded, the tribunal—
(a) may make a declaration as to what it finds the employer's reasons were for dismissing the employee, and
(b) shall make an award that the employer pay to the employee a sum equal to the amount of two weeks' pay.
(3) An industrial tribunal shall not consider a complaint under this Article relating to the reasons for a dismissal unless it is presented to the tribunal at such a time that the tribunal would, in accordance with Article 145, consider a complaint of unfair dismissal in respect of that dismissal presented at the same time.
