Miss M Walaszczyk v Bespoke Leisure Limited — 2021

The case was heard remotely by CVP on 2 December 2021 before Employment Judge Nicklin. The respondent did not attend and no valid response had been presented, so the tribunal issued a Rule 21 judgment on the written material before it. The claimant, Miss M Walaszczyk, succeeded on the monetary claims recorded in the judgment.

The tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment of £680, calculated as five weeks at a weekly pay figure of £136. It also found that she was entitled to contractual notice pay of £680, subject to any applicable deductions for tax and/or National Insurance.

In addition, the tribunal awarded outstanding contractual holiday pay of £136 for two days at £68 per day, and found that the respondent had made an unlawful deduction from wages by not paying her for two days worked at the end of employment on 24 and 31 July 2019. That unpaid wages award was also £136, at the same daily rate, subject to any applicable deductions for tax and/or National Insurance.

The total amount payable was £1,632, less any applicable deductions for tax and/or National Insurance in respect of the notice pay, holiday pay and unpaid wages elements. The written judgment does not record any discrimination issues, dismissal findings, or interest award.
