Robert Workman v Moport Limited — 2023

The claim was determined under rule 21 because the respondent failed to file an ET3. Employment Judge Baty considered the ET1 and the documents supplied by the claimant and decided that the claim could properly be determined without a hearing.

The judgment records that the claimant's employment terminated with effect from 17 August 2023, after he had been given 3 months' notice on 17 May 2023. On the papers before the tribunal, the respondent had unlawfully failed to pay salary for May, June and part of August 2023, although the claimant accepted that he was paid his salary for July 2023.

The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay a statutory redundancy payment. The award was calculated by reference to the claimant's 2 complete years' service, weekly pay capped at the statutory maximum week's pay of £643, and a multiplier of 1.5. The tribunal further found that expenses of £193.50 net had not been paid.

The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £10,926.20 net in total, being the sum of the unpaid salary, the statutory redundancy payment and the unpaid expenses.
