Mr N Goodings v Miramar 246 Limited (In voluntary liquidation) — 2023

Mr N Goodings was employed by Miramar 246 Limited from 26 August 2020 to 3 May 2023 as a Duty Manager. He was dismissed without prior warning or notice by reason of redundancy. The respondent did not present a response, so the tribunal proceeded under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure on the available material. The tribunal recorded that he was 22 years old at dismissal, had two complete years of service, worked an average of 33 hours a week at £10.18 an hour, and had gross weekly pay of £336.

All five claims succeeded. The tribunal found an unauthorised deduction of wages in the gross sum of £1,363.31 for unpaid hours in the four weeks before dismissal, holiday pay of £1,025 for 100.76 hours of untaken leave under Regulation 30 of the Working Time Regulations, breach of contract damages of £612 for two weeks' notice, and a statutory redundancy payment of £336 calculated at 0.5 week's pay for each full year worked while under 22. The unfair dismissal claim also succeeded, but the tribunal made no compensatory award and recorded that the basic award was negated by the statutory redundancy payment. The total amount ordered was £3,336.31.
