Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Ms J Bowden, brought a complaint seeking a redundancy payment from K S Optical Limited. The respondent did not attend the hearing. Employment Judge Johnson held that the complaint was well founded and therefore succeeded.
The tribunal calculated the redundancy payment by reference to 9 completed years of service at the effective date of termination and a week's pay of £200.29. It recorded that the claimant had completed 9 years' service while aged 41 or over, so the calculation used 1.5 weeks' pay for each completed year.
On that basis, the tribunal awarded £2,703.92, being (£200.29 x 9) x 1.5. The written record also notes the usual interest provision under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, but no separate interest sum was quantified in the judgment.

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.
