Miss L Ackerlay v Always Here Limited — 2023

This was a Rule 21 judgment by Employment Judge Horne dated 23 June 2023 and sent to the parties on 26 June 2023. The tribunal entered judgment for the claimant, Miss L Ackerlay, against Always Here Limited on all five matters determined in the decision. It found an unauthorized deduction from wages and ordered £1,728.00 gross; found unpaid untaken annual leave on termination and ordered £2,592.00 gross; and found a breach of contract for failure to give notice of termination and ordered £1,728.00 gross damages.

The tribunal also held that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment of £2,592.00. In addition, because the respondent was in breach of its obligation to provide a statutory statement of particulars of employment at the time the claim was presented, the tribunal made an additional award of two weeks' pay under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002, in the sum of £864.00. The judgment notes that the respondent may deduct tax and national insurance from the sums awarded in paragraphs 1 to 3, including the breach of contract damages, which the judgment says are taxable as Post-Employment Notice Pay.

The separate interest notice states that the relevant decision day was 26 June 2023, the calculation day was 27 June 2023, and the stipulated interest rate was 8% per annum. No separate interest amount is recorded in the judgment itself.
