JUDGMENT
[1]The claim was presented in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 21 March 2025. The respondent has failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge has decided that a determination can properly be made of the claim, or part of it, in accordance with rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.[2]The unfair dismissal complaint is well-founded. The claimant was unfairly dismissed.[3]The respondent shall pay the claimant the following sums in relation to the claim for unfair dismissal:a. A basic award of £14,913.57b. A compensatory award of £1,187.60 for loss of earnings calculated as follows: i. Loss of basic (net) salary from 6/1/25 (date of effective termination) to date of judgment) = 39 weeks x £524.64 = £20,460.96 ii. Less net earnings received from other employment during the same period = £19,273.36 6/1/25 to 30/4/25: 16 weeks x £483.15 = £7,730.40 1/5/25 to 2/10/25: 22 weeks x £524.68 = £11,542.96 £7,730.40 + £11,542.96 = £19,273.36 iii. £20,460.96 – £19,273.36 = £1,187.60[4]The respondent has made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages contrary to Part II Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant was not paid for the period 20 November 2023 to 5 January 2025 (at a rate of £634.62 per week). The respondent must pay the claimant the gross sum of £37,351.92. The respondent must pay these wages after deducting tax and national insurance. In the event that the claimant receives this amount without deductions then the claimant must account to HMRC.[5]The respondent is ordered to pay the claimant £53,453.09 in total.[6]The hearing listed to start on 9 March 2026 is cancelled.
