JUDGMENT

Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 – Rule 21[1]The respondent has made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages during 2019 (including deductions ostensibly made for employee pension contributions) and is ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £29,889.40 (after credit is given for the sum of £4,200 paid by the Insolvency Service).[2]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 £1,072.00. This is calculated at £847.00 per week but giving credit for earnings from new employment of £822.00 per week for weeks 2-10 of the 10 week notice period.[3]The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy but the claim for a contractual redundancy payment fails. The claimant has not established any contractual right to a redundancy payment beyond the statutory payment already received from the Insolvency Service (clause 6 of his contract).[4]The respondent has failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and is ordered to pay the claimant the sum of £6,163.72 (after credit is given for the sum of £777.48 paid by the Insolvency Service).
