Mrs D C Zota Polanco v Complete Cleaning Services London Ltd: 2203336/2025
JUDGMENT
[1]The claims of unfair dismissal and for notice pay succeed.[2]The Respondent must pay the Claimant £12110 by 14 February 2026.[3]The Recoupment Regulations apply1.REASONS
[1]The Respondent failed to enter an ET3 and has not attended the hearing. I proceeded under Rule 22 and heard evidence from the Claimant on oath for purposes of calculating the award.[2]She told me and I find that she was dismissed without any notice pay. She had earned about £350 net per week (£18200 net per year) from the Respondent and for the period of one year after the date of dismissal (that is from 16/1/25 to 16/1/26) she managed, despite extra travelling and anxiety cause by her dismissal, to earn £8858 from other employers. Her net loss of income over that period caused by the dismissal was therefore £9342. During the same period, she received Universal Credit of £453.94. She had worked for 4 full years for the Respondent and was aged 60 when dismissed.[3]It is just and equitable to award the following sums Basic award £2418 Compensatory award : Loss of Statutory Rights £350 Loss of income for one year £9342 Total £12110[4]The one week’s notice pay is co-extensive with the first week of the loss of income award so I do not award that separately. 1 The prescribed period is 16/1/25 to 16/1/26. The prescribed amount is £9342. The difference between the prescribed amount and the total award is £2768. 2203336 2025 J S Burns
