Mr L Carter v SLG DB3 Limited — 2024

The judgment was issued under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. Employment Judge Horne determined three matters on the papers: that the respondent had failed to compensate the claimant for untaken annual leave on termination of employment, that the respondent had breached the claimant's contract of employment by failing to give notice of termination, and that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment.

The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £3,798.05 (gross) for untaken annual leave, £4,557.70 (gross) as damages for breach of contract in respect of notice, and £3,264.00 as a redundancy payment. The tribunal noted that the damages for breach of contract are taxable as Post-Employment Notice Pay and that the respondent is entitled to make deductions for tax and national insurance.

The tribunal observed that the figures awarded differ from those in the claimant's calculations but did not treat the judgment as a disputed decision because the aggregate sum awarded exceeded the total amount sought by the claimant. A separate notice was issued setting the relevant decision day as 19 April 2024 with the stipulated interest rate of 8% per annum applicable if the award remained unpaid beyond 14 days.
