Mr R Thorne v Y Ozdemir: 2403565/2024
JUDGMENT
Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 – Rule 21[1]The respondent has failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge has decided that a determination can properly be made on the claim in accordance with Rule 21 of the Rules of Procedure.[2]The respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in March 2024 and is ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £88.66.[3]The respondent failed to pay the claimant’s accrued untaken annual leave entitlement (12 days) and is ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £265.98.[4]The claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and the respondent is ordered to pay damages to the claimant in the sum of £1,063.92 (12 weeks’ statutory notice x £88.66 per week). This has been calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant will have to pay tax on it as “Post Employment Notice Pay”.[5]The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and is entitled to a redundancy payment of £2,659.80 (1.5 weeks’ pay for each full year worked (20 years) x £88.66 per week = 1.5 x 20 x £88.66).[6]Consequently, the respondent must pay the claimant the total gross sum of £4,078.36.
