[3]This Judgment should read in conjunction with the Case Management Order sent to the parties on 3 March 2019 and the Judgment sent to the parties on 5 March 2019 following the hearing on 7 February 2019. Statements[4]I have considered the Respondent’s statement dated 15 March 2019 and the Claimant’s response dated 27 March 2019.[5]Neither party has requested a further hearing and I have therefore considered this matter on the papers as directed in paragraph 3 of the Case Management Order.[6]The Respondent employed Mr Nilesh Modi for 2 weeks to replace the Claimant who did not work the final 2 weeks of her notice period.[7]Mr Modi’s salary was £1,346.15 for that period.[8]Deducted from that sum is £701.92 which the Respondent saved by not having to pay the Claimant’s salary.
