Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place remotely on 13 January 2021 before Employment Judge Horne. Mrs Y Tipton appeared in person. United Payroll Limited did not attend, was not represented, and its participation was restricted under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,907.07 and that she had been unfairly dismissed by reason of redundancy. It ordered a basic award of £1,907.07 in relation to the unfair dismissal, with a set-off against that sum for any redundancy payment already made to the claimant. The tribunal recorded that no compensatory award had been pursued, so no compensatory award was made.
The tribunal also found that the respondent breached the claimant's contract by failing to give notice of termination and ordered payment of £1,907.07 gross. It further found an unlawful deduction from wages for the period 1 to 24 February 2020 and ordered payment of £1,525.66 gross. The total amount payable by the respondent was £5,339.80, and the judgment notes that the gross sums in the breach of contract and unlawful deduction awards are subject to tax and national insurance.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
