Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningIn the absence of any Response from the respondent, and with the respondent barred from participating and absent from the hearing, the tribunal upheld the claimant's complaints of non-payment of statutory redundancy pay, holiday pay and notice pay. Mr D Keers had been employed from 17 March 2016 until dismissal by reason of redundancy on 12 September 2022. He was 59 at dismissal and his agreed annual salary of PS18,200 equated to PS350 gross and PS315.36 net per week.
The tribunal calculated statutory redundancy pay by applying 6 years' service and the age-related multiplier to the gross weekly wage, giving PS3,150. It awarded 6 weeks' notice pay at PS315.36 net per week, totalling PS1,892.16, and holiday pay for the last 2 years as 11.2 weeks at PS315.36 net per week, totalling PS3,532.03. The total awarded was PS8,537.19 net.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
