Mrs L Grayson v Evoke Outdoor Design Ltd: 1305783/2023
JUDGMENT
[1]The claim was presented in the West Midlands Employment Tribunal on 5 September 2023. The respondent has failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge has decided that a determination can properly be made of the claim, or part of it, in accordance with rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.[2]The respondent has made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages and ordered to pay the claimant £1350.00 gross in respect of the period 1 May – 15 May 2023. This has been calculated on the basis that the claimant says that she was not paid between 1 and 15 May 2025 on the basis of 10 hours a day and 4 days per week, which equates to 9 days in total and therefore 90 hours. The hourly rate of pay is £15.[3]The claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and the respondent must pay damages to the claimant of £1200.00 gross. This has been calculated on the basis of gross weekly pay of £600 per week, with a two week notice period.[4]The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and is entitled to a redundancy payment of £1800 gross. This has been calculated on the basis of gross weekly pay of £600 per week, with 2 years’ service at the date of termination and a multiplier of 1.5 based on the claimant’s age.[5]The respondent has failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and is ordered to pay the claimant £1245.00 gross. This has been calculated based on the claimant not having taken any of her holiday during the five months worked in the current holiday year as at termination of employment, amounting to 8.3 days’ statutory leave at a rate of £150 per day.[6]The total amount payable to the claimant is £5,595 less deductions for tax and national insurance.
