Ms G Allen v Aarondale Healthcare Limited (In voluntary liquidation) Heard: Remotely by video — 2022

Employment Judge S A Shore heard the matter remotely on 27 May 2022 and recorded a Rule 21 judgment for Ms G Allen against Aarondale Healthcare Limited (in voluntary liquidation). The Tribunal held that the claimant's unfair dismissal claim was well founded, but because the claimant said she did not want an order under section 113 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, no order was made under that provision.

The Tribunal dismissed the claims for unauthorised deduction of wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and for failure to consult about redundancy under section 188 of the Trade Union & Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. It found that the claimant had been dismissed for redundancy and that her separate redundancy payment claim was well founded. On the figures recorded, she was 53 years old at the effective date of termination, had 3 complete years of service, and earned £500.50 gross per week, producing a statutory redundancy payment of £2,252.25.

The Tribunal also upheld the claim for accrued holiday pay. It found that 45.5 hours of leave remained outstanding at dismissal and awarded £541.45 gross at £11.90 per hour. The breach of contract claim for notice pay also succeeded, with the Tribunal finding that the claimant was contractually entitled to three weeks' notice and awarding £1,501.50 gross. The monetary awards recorded in the judgment therefore total £4,295.20.
