Ms C Dunphy v Round Green Pre School: 3311127/2022
JUDGMENT
Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 – Rule 21[1]The Respondent has failed to submit a response and the claim is in time.[2]The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and is entitled to a redundancy payment of £5449.25. (This is based on gross weekly pay of £217.97, and on 19 years complete service, and on the Claimant’s age as of the last day of employment, which was 29 July 2022).[3]The Respondent breached the Claimant’s contract by giving her 4 weeks notice of dismissal when her actual entitlement was to 3 months.[4]Had the Claimant been given the correct entitlement to notice, her net pay in that period would have been £1982.08. Instead she received £738.52 (for the period 1 July to 29 July 2022). The Respondent is therefore ordered to pay the Claimant £1243.56 as damages for breach of contract.
