Mrs Alison Shackleton v C & A Cerdyn Limited — 2020

The respondent confirmed that the claimant’s claims were not defended, so the tribunal entered judgment in favour of the claimant under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The claim for breach of contract in respect of unpaid notice pay was found well-founded and succeeded. The tribunal awarded £164.20, described as 2 weeks’ gross notice pay at £82.10 per week.

The claim for a statutory redundancy payment was also found well-founded and succeeded. The tribunal awarded £246.30 as a redundancy payment, applying the statutory formula on the basis of 2 years’ continuous service as at the date of dismissal, all service over the age of 41, and gross weekly pay of £82.10. The written notice also states that sums unpaid after 14 days would carry interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 at the stipulated rate of 8% from 25 January 2020, but no separate interest amount was calculated in the judgment.
