Mr R Mohite v The Mates Group Ltd: 6006505/2024
JUDGMENT
The claim for a redundancy payment is struck out.REASONS
[1]The claimant claims the right to a redundancy payment.[2]Section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 says that employees do not have the right to a redundancy payment unless they have been employed for two years or more.[3]The claimant was employed by the respondent for less than two years.[4]Therefore, the claimant does not have the right to a redundancy payment.[5]The claimant was given the opportunity to explain why the claim for a redundancy payment should not be struck out but has not given an acceptable reason.[6]Accordingly, the claim for a redundancy payment is struck out. The claimant’s other complaints are not affected by this judgment. 20 December 2024 Employment Judge M Butler[1]The complaint of unauthorised deductions from pay contrary to Part II Employment Rights Act 1996 is well-founded. The respondent made a series of unauthorised deductions from the claimant's pay between 1 and 16 February 2024 (16 days) 2024 and 21 and 29 March 2024 (8 days). The respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the net sum of £2299.92 deducted from pay.[2]The complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay is well-founded. The respondent is ordered to pay the claimant the net sum of £287.49, having paid the claimant three days less than the notice period due.
