Ms V Phillips v G1 Design Ltd: 3300913/2024
JUDGMENT
[1]The complaint of unfair dismissal under Part X Employment Rights Act 1996 is well-founded. The claimant was unfairly dismissed by the respondent. The respondent is ordered to pay the claimant the following:(a) A basic award1 in the sum of £1,500 (gross weekly pay of £500 x 3 multiplier); and(b) A compensatory award in the sum of £0 (100% Polkey reduction).[2]The complaint of unauthorised deductions from pay, contrary to Part II Employment Rights Act 1996, in respect of six weeks wages from 1 November 2023 to 15 December 2023 is well-founded. The respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the gross sum of £3,000 (which is the claimant’s weekly gross wage of £500 multiplied by 6 weeks).[3]The complaint of breach of contract in relation to 4 week’s contractual notice pay is well-founded. The respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the gross sum of £2,000 (which is the claimant’s weekly gross wage of £500 multiplied by 4 weeks).[4]The complaint in respect of holiday accrued but unpaid on termination, contrary to the Working Time Regulations 1998, is well-founded. The respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's pay by failing to pay 13 days of holiday pay and is ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £1,300 (£100 gross day rate multiplied by 13 days). 1 The basic award is effectively the same as the redundancy award, so I do not need to consider the redundancy award separately. Case No: 3300913/2024[5]The respondent is therefore ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £7,800.[6]The recoupment regulations do not apply as the claimant has not received any State benefits.
