Mr G Roberts v Push Streaming Technologies Ltd (in creditors voluntary liquidation): 6008784/2024
JUDGMENT
Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 – Rule 21[1]The respondent has failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge has decided that a determination can properly be made on the claim in accordance with Rule 21 of the Rules of Procedure. The claimant’s annual pay was £72,000 gross. He was summarily dismissed on 30 June 2024.[2]The respondent has made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in that no wages were paid to him between 1 June 2024 and 30 June 2024. The respondent is ordered to pay the claimant 30 days’ pay, which is the gross sum of £5917.80.[3]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 sum of £18,000 (3 months’ contractual notice pay). This has been calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant will have to pay tax on it as “Post Employment Notice Pay”.[4]The respondent has failed to pay the claimant’s accrued but untaken holiday entitlement (17 days) and is ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £4,707.64.[5]The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and is entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £1,400.00 based on a gross salary of £72,000 per annum but capped at the statutory maximum weekly pay of £700 (1 x 2 x £700).[6]Consequently, the respondent must pay the claimant the sum of £30,025.44 in total.[7]The hearing listed on 11 February 2025 is cancelled.
