Mr D Keers v Digital Express Ltd: 1403434/2022
JUDGMENT
[1]In the absence of any Response being filed by the Respondent and an order barring the Respondent from participating; and the non- attendance of the Respondent at the hearing today, the complaints of non-payment of redundancy pay; holiday pay and notice pay succeed.[2]The Claimant is entitled to be receive the following payments:(i) Statutory Redundancy Pay (“SRP”) The Claimant was employed from 17th March 2016 until his dismissal by reason of redundancy on 12th September 2022. He was 59 years old at the time of dismissal. His annual salary was £18,200. This equates to £350 gross per week and £315.36 net per week. These figures were agreed with the Claimant. The SRP calculation is number of years’ service (6 years) x a multiplier based on age (6 years @ 1.5 = 9) x gross weekly wage (£350 – which is lower than the maximum cap) = 9 x £350 = £3,150.00.(ii) Notice Pay The Claimant was entitled to 6 weeks’ notice pay. This was calculated as a net payment of £315.36 x 6 = £1,892.16. 10.2 Judgment - rule 61 Case Number: 1403434/2022(iii) Holiday Pay The Claimant did not receive holiday pay for the last 2 years. He calculated this as 5.6 weeks x 2 years, so 11.2 weeks in total. 11.2 x £315.36 = £3,532.03 net.[3]In total the Claimant is entitled to receive £8,537.19 net.
