Alan Roussell A POINTS system used by a fulfilment company to sack employees after MX2 went bust was unfair, a former staff member has said.

The claim heard by an employment tribunal was made by 55-year-old Alan Roussell (pictured), who in 2010 was made redundant from Regency Fulfilment after three-and-a-half years’ employment.

He said the company’s selection criteria, which had given all 26 employees points for their skills and attributes, had judged him too harshly.

But part owner and director of the company at the time James Symons, 64, said that he had followed Commerce and Employment guidelines to find a method that judged employees fairly.
