Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a remote hearing in Manchester on 22 April 2021 before Employment Judge Rice-Birchall sitting alone, with the respondent not in attendance, the tribunal found in favour of Mr L Clewes on all matters determined. It held that JH Automotive Refinishing Limited had breached his contract by failing to pay notice pay, had made unlawful deductions from wages in respect of accrued holiday and arrears of pay, had dismissed him by reason of redundancy without paying a redundancy payment, and had failed to provide employment particulars.
The tribunal ordered payment of £1,350 gross for notice pay, £630 gross for accrued but unpaid holiday, £4,704 gross for arrears of pay, £2,025 for redundancy pay, and £1,800 for failure to provide employment particulars. The total award was £10,509. A separate notice attached to the judgment stated the relevant decision day was 26 April 2021, the calculation day was 27 April 2021, and the stipulated interest rate was 8% if sums remained unpaid after 14 days.
