Mrs S Rana v B&M Print and Embroidery Limited — 2025

Employment Judge Adkinson, sitting alone at Leicester Hearing Centre on 22 September 2025, heard the claim brought by Mrs S Rana against B&M Print and Embroidery Limited. The respondent's response had been rejected as presented late and the respondent had not applied for permission to present a response out of time or to take part, and was therefore debarred from taking part in the hearing. The Tribunal heard from the claimant in person and considered the evidence she presented.

The Tribunal was satisfied that the claimant's gross weekly pay was £1,197.91 and that she had been employed by the respondent for 6 years immediately before dismissal. The Tribunal held that the respondent had unfairly dismissed the claimant and that the dismissal was by reason of redundancy, entitling her to a redundancy payment of £4,200 gross. It further found that the respondent had failed to pay 6 weeks' notice pay (£7,187.46 gross) and 2 days' accrued holiday pay (£479.16 gross) due at dismissal.

The Tribunal also found that the respondent had made deductions from the claimant's pay described as pension contributions but had not in fact paid those sums into the claimant's pension, and that these deductions were therefore unauthorised; the respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £3,694.95 gross in respect of those deductions. Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will not be provided unless requested within 14 days.
