Upon hearing the claimants and there being no attendance by the respondent, judgment of the tribunal is as follows:[1]The name of the respondent is amended to Centre for Arabic Language Training Limited.[2]The claimants are granted leave to amend their claims to include claims for redundancy pay, notice pay and holiday pay as well as for unpaid wages.[3]The claimants are entitled to the following sums in respect of their claims.[4]Miss I Qaddourah(1) Redundancy pay 2 weeks x £525 = £ 1,050.00(2) Notice pay 3 months x 3,000 = £ 9,000.00(3) Arrears of wages 4 months x 3,000 = £12,000.00(4) Holiday pay 4.6 weeks x £690.05 = £ 3,174.23 Total = £25,224.23[5]Mrs R Scharaf(1) Redundancy pay nil = nil(2) Notice pay 1 month x 2,500 = £ 2,500.00(3) Arrears of wages 4 months x 2,500 = £10,000.00(4) Holiday pay 5.6 weeks x £575.04 = £ 3,220.22 Total = £15,720.22[6]Miss J Zaveri(1) Redundancy pay nil = nil(2) Notice pay 2 weeks x 241.52 = £ 483.04 (4) Arrears of wages 4 months x 1050 = £ 4,200.00 (4) Holiday pay 2.67 weeks x £241.52 = £ 644.86 Total = £ 5,327.90[7]Mrs H K Ehlelbawi(1) Redundancy pay 2.5 weeks x £525 = £ 1,312.50(2) Notice pay 3 months x £4,166.67 = £ 12,500.00 (5) Arrears of wages 1.5 months x 4,166.67 = £ 6,250.00 (4) Holiday pay 5.6 weeks x £958.40 = £ 5,367.04 Total = £ 25,429.54 OBSERVATIONS[1]The respondent has not entered a notice of appearance and did not attend.[2]A Companies House search shows that the Centre for Arabic Language Training Limited is still active but there is an active proposal to strike off the company, potentially due to the failure to submit accounts. I suggested that the claimants sought advice about that and how it may impact on their ability to enforce the judgment made.
