Miss T McDougall v Little Frogs Day Nursery and Pre School Limited — 2021

The matter was determined as a Rule 21 default judgment because the time for presenting a response had expired and no valid response had been filed. Employment Judge Holmes Date entered judgment on 20 October 2021, and the judgment was sent to the parties on 5 November 2021. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages, that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, that she had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment, and that the respondent had failed to pay her holiday entitlement.

The tribunal ordered gross sums of £607.88 for unpaid wages, £1,069.20 for notice damages, £1,336.50 as a redundancy payment, and £3,434.90 for holiday entitlement. The judgment directs that the sums under paragraphs 1, 2 and 4 are subject to tax and National Insurance deductions if applicable. The attached interest notice states the relevant decision day, calculation day and 8% rate, but no separate quantified interest award appears in the judgment.
