Mr A Ogunleye v AAO UK Services Limited — 2024

Employment Judge K M Ross determined this case on the papers in chambers at Manchester on 23 May 2024 under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, neither party being in attendance. The Tribunal found that the claimant's claims for unpaid wages for September 2023, for one week's notice pay, and for accrued but untaken holiday pay on termination were each well-founded, and ordered the respondent to pay £1,192.31 gross, £596.15 and £953.84 respectively, producing a total sum of £2,742.30 payable within 14 days of the judgment.

The Tribunal also found well-founded the claimant's complaints under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 that the respondent had failed to comply with the collective consultation requirements of section 188. By way of protective award under section 189(3), the Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant, who was dismissed for redundancy between 14 and 30 September 2023, a sum equivalent to remuneration for a period of 30 days beginning on 30 September 2023. The Recoupment Regulations were noted to apply to that award.
