Mr D Hurton v The Soper Group Limited Introduction The proceedings were posted to the respondent at its registered office and no response has been received by the return date. There is sufficient information on the file for me to give — 2021

Employment Judge JM Wade gave a Rule 21 judgment after the respondent, The Soper Group Limited, did not file a response by the return date. The tribunal said there was sufficient information on the file to determine the claim.

Mr D Hurton's complaints of entitlement to a redundancy payment and unlawful deductions from wages succeeded. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay gross sums of £1,724.44 for arrears of furlough pay, £1,248.06 for accrued holiday pay, £2,268 for notice pay, £3,228 for redundancy, £340.38 for overtime and £119.77 for employer pension contribution.

The judgment recorded that the claimant was responsible for any tax and employee national insurance on the sums awarded, or for making any pension contributions to a pension provider, and that interest would start to run after 14 days from the sending of the judgment. It also noted that the tribunal could not order payment to a third party.
