Mr G McDonald Kelly v Bentley Fencing Limited — 2025

This is a remedy judgment following an earlier liability judgment dated 14 March 2025, in which the Tribunal upheld the claimant's complaints in accordance with rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure. The remedy hearing took place at Sheffield by video on 4 April 2025 before Employment Judge Tegerdine; the claimant was represented by Mr R Beasley as a lay representative and the respondent did not attend.

The Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £1,380.00 for unauthorised deduction from wages covering unpaid wages between 9 August and 30 August 2024, and £1,391.60 in respect of 14 days of accrued but untaken holiday (calculated at £99.40 per day) for the period from 1 January 2024 to the termination date of 30 August 2024, which the Tribunal characterised as a further unauthorised deduction from wages. The Tribunal also ordered gross notice pay of £5,964.00, representing 12 weeks' statutory notice at £497 per week, and a statutory redundancy payment of £14,910.00, calculated as 20 years x 1.5 x £497 per week.

The respondent was ordered to pay the sums due on or before 20 April 2025. Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will not be provided unless requested within 14 days. The document is a remedy judgment only and does not set out the substantive reasoning of the earlier liability decision.
