Mr J Grasty v The Centre for Early Furniture and Art Ltd: 1805968/2021
JUDGMENT
[1]The Respondent dismissed the Claimant without notice on 8 November 2021.[2]The Respondent dismissed the Claimant by reason of redundancy. The Respondent is ordered to pay the Claimant a statutory redundancy payment of £1632.[3]The Respondent wrongfully dismissed the Claimant because it did not give him notice when dismissing him. The Claimant’s notice period was 3 months. The Respondent is ordered to pay the Claimant damages for wrongful dismissal of £7631.25.[4]The Respondent unfairly dismissed the Claimant. No basic award is payable because a statutory redundancy payment has been ordered. The Respondent is ordered to pay the Claimant a compensatory award of one week’s net pay and benefits of £587. This is because a fair procedure would have taken 1 week to complete and there is a 100% chance that at the end of that week the Claimant would have been given notice of dismissal by reason of redundancy. The recoupment regulations do not apply.[5]The Respondent made unauthorised deductions from the Claimant’s wages because it did not pay him the salary due to him for the period 1 October to 8 November 2021. The amount deducted was £4273.97 and the Respondent is ordered to pay the Claimant that amount.[6]The Respondent failed to pay the Claimant the compensation due to him under Regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 and is ordered to pay him £8023.07, being the amount of compensation due under that Regulation.
