Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Respondent did not file a defence and, under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure, was not permitted to participate in the hearing, although under Rule 22(3) the Judge accepted some documents and a video recording from the Respondent into evidence in the interests of justice and without objection from the Claimant. The hearing took place at Midlands West Employment Tribunal on 17 January 2025 before Employment Judge Fitzgerald, with the Claimant appearing in person.
The Tribunal upheld the Claimant's claims for notice pay (wrongful dismissal) of 1000.32, unlawful deduction of wages for the period 7 November to 30 November 2023 of 550.18, holiday pay of 750.24 for 4.5 weeks' accrued and unpaid holiday, and unfair dismissal, for which a basic award of 1500.48 and a compensatory award of 8669.44 were made. A further award of 333.44 (two weeks' pay) was made in respect of the Respondent's breach of the duty to provide a written statement of employment particulars. A separate unlawful deduction claim relating to 600 paid to the Respondent was dismissed.
The total monetary award is 12804.10, subject to the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996; the prescribed element is 8669.44 attributable to the period 11 January 2024 to 17 January 2025, and the amount by which the monetary award exceeds the prescribed element is 4134.66.
