Tribunal's reasoningMr C Morgan brought claims against Resindrives.co.uk Ltd, which did not attend the remote hearing on 11 August 2020 before Employment Judge D N Jones. The tribunal found that he had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded a redundancy payment of £3,150, calculated by reference to a maximum week's pay of £525 and 6 years of continuous employment.
The tribunal also found that the respondent breached the contract of employment by failing to give notice of termination. It awarded damages of £4,788, based on £798 gross for 6 weeks. No separate legal analysis was set out in the short judgment beyond the tribunal's findings on entitlement and quantification.
On unfair dismissal, the tribunal upheld the claim and made a compensatory award of £925, made up of £800 for loss of statutory rights and £125 for loss of earnings. The judgment states that the recoupment provisions did not apply. The tribunal further found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages in respect of 5 days' pay and ordered payment of £725 gross.
