Having heard from the claimant, and the Tribunal having received correspondence from the respondent to the effect that it did not intend to enter a response nor attend the hearing, the judgment of the Tribunal is as follows:[1]The claimant was unfairly dismissed. The respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the sum of £5,286.00 in resect of his unfair dismissal, which sum is comprised of a basic award/redundancy payment of £1,320.00 and a compensatory award of £3,966.00.[2]The respondent dismissed the claimant in breach of contract and is ordered to pay to the claimant the sum of £820.00 as damages for lack of the claimant’s statutory notice entitlement of 2 weeks’ notice.[3]The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages is well-founded. The respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the net sum of £820.00 in respect of unpaid wages for the last 2 weeks of his employment.[4]In addition, the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages by failing to pay the claimants for holidays accrued but not taken at the termination of the claimants’ employment. The respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the net sum of £779.00 in respect of 9.5 days’ accrued untaken holiday entitlement. Approved by:
