Ms A Symes v Respondent — 2021

This remedy judgment was issued by Employment Judge Davies on 24 March 2021, following a Rule 21 judgment made on 18 March 2021. The respondent did not attend the CVP hearing, and the claimant appeared in person. The tribunal ordered KAM Enterprises Ltd to pay the claimant three sums arising from the earlier judgment.

First, the tribunal awarded £70.96 as damages for breach of contract for failure to pay the claimant two weeks' notice at 100% of her weekly pay. Second, it awarded £309.96 for holiday accrued but not taken when the employment ended, calculated on the basis of 37.8 hours at £8.20 per hour. Third, it awarded £709.60 for failure to provide a written statement of employment particulars.

In relation to the written particulars award, the tribunal recorded that there were no exceptional circumstances making it not just and equitable to award two weeks' pay, and that it was just and equitable to award four weeks' pay. The total payable to the claimant was £1,090.52, and the tribunal noted that enforcement action could be taken in the County Court if payment was not made.
