Did not attend and was not represented. For the v Otis Elevator Company — 2024

This was a short track final hearing about termination payments. The claimant did not attend or appear to be represented. The respondent had not entered a response and was also absent. Employment Judge R Clark sat alone at Nottingham by CVP on 5 December 2024. The tribunal recorded that the claimant's employment ended on 20 June 2024, that she was paid monthly on the 15th, and that this timing meant she had been overpaid in June because part of the month was paid in advance and part in arrears.

The tribunal examined the paperwork, including the payslips, and concluded that the July payslip made the position clear. It showed an adjustment to deduct the June overpayment for 21 to 30 June, a payment in lieu of notice that appeared to match one week's pay, and payment of outstanding holiday entitlement. On that basis, the tribunal found that the documents showed everything due to the claimant had been paid. The claim for damages for breach of contract was dismissed, and the alternative claim for unauthorised deduction from wages was also dismissed.
