Miss D Hare v Stemkids Ltd: 2412116/2023
JUDGMENT
The claim for a redundancy payment is struck out.REASONS
[1]By a letter dated 12 April 2024, the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations as to why the claim for a redundancy payment should not be struck out because the claimant has insufficient service with the respondent to bring such a claim, so the Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to hear it.[2]The claimant has failed to make representations in writing, or has failed to make any sufficient representations, why this should not be done or to request a hearing. The claim is therefore struck out.[3]The claimant’s other claims are not affected by this judgment.[1]The respondent has made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and is ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £579.60.[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 gross sum of £414.[3]The respondent has failed to pay the claimant’s accrued but untaken annual leave entitlement on termination of employment and is ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £138.[4]The claimant will be responsible for paying any tax liabilities arising out of the gross award if they receive the gross figure and tax is not deducted from source.[5]Consequently, the respondent must pay the claimant the total gross sum (of paragraphs 1, 2 & 3 above), of £1,131.60[6]The hearing listed on 26 July 2024 is cancelled.
