JUDGMENT

[1]The respondent did not present a response in this case.[2]A decision was taken that a determination could not properly be made of the claim under rule 22 without a hearing.[3]That hearing took place today. The respondent had notice of the hearing. I converted the hearing to a public hearing. I heard evidence from the claimant and the tribunal’s judgment is as follows.a. The complaint of unfair dismissal is well-founded. The claimant was unfairly dismissed.b. The respondent shall pay the claimant a basic award of £8,800.c. The complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay is wellfounded. 1 of 3d. The respondent shall pay the claimant £3,336 as damages for breach of contract. This figure 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.e. The complaint of disability discrimination is well founded.f. The respondent shall pay compensation to claimant of £11,700 for unlawful discrimination.[4]The respondent shall therefore pay to the claimant total compensation of £23,836, which is made up of the amounts set out in paragraphs 3.b, 3.d and 3.f above. These amount set out in paragraph 3.b and 3.d were agreed by the claimant in today’s hearing and the claimant agreed that the compensation at paragraph 3.f should be in the lower band of Vento band applicable at the time the claimant submitted her claim. I decided what this amount was, based on the evidence provided by the claimant. Employment Judge Childe 22 May 2025 27 June 2025 ……...……………………..
