ON REMEDY The Tribunal issued a judgment upholding the claimant’s complaints on 14 March 2025 in accordance with rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure. The Tribunal now makes the following awards in respect of the claimant’s complaints. The judgment of the Employment Tribunal is that:[1]The respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the gross sum of £1,680.00 for unauthorised deduction from wages in respect of unpaid wages between 9 August – 30 August 2024;[2]The respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s wages by failing to pay claimant for holiday accrued but not taken on the date the claimant’s employment ended. The respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the gross sum of £1,456.00 in respect of 13 days’ accrued but untaken holiday for the period between the start of the holiday year on 1 January 2024 and the termination date of 30 August 2024 (13 days x £112 per day);[3]The respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant gross notice pay of £6,720 (12 weeks’ statutory notice x £560 per week); and[4]The respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant a statutory redundancy payment of £16,800.00 (20 yrs x 1.5 x £560 per week) (Note: Employment Judge Tegerdine initially awarded the amount claimed which was £18,660, however upon checking the figures after the hearing the judge realised that Case No: 1809346/2024 this figure had been calculated incorrectly by the claimant, so it has been corrected. The correct figure is £16,800). The respondent is ordered to pay the sums due to the claimant on or before 20 April 2025.
