JUDGMENT

[1]The respondent indicated in its response form that it did not defend the claim. The tribunal staff telephoned the respondent on the 4 February 2020 to check they had received notification of the change of venue for this hearing. The respondent confirmed in that call that they were not intending to attend today. In accordance with rule 47 I decided to proceed in the absence of the respondent.[2]My judgment is:(a) The complaint of failure to pay a statutory redundancy payment is well founded and I award the sum of £13,387.50.(b) The complaint of failure to pay notice pay is well founded and after deductions for mitigation I award the gross sum of £600.00.(c) The complaint of breach of contract for failure to pay wages due is well founded and I award the gross sum of £3314.65.[3]Other than the statutory redundancy payment the sums are awarded on a gross basis and the claimant will be responsible for payments of any tax and employee national insurance contributions due.
