Ms J Collier v NBC Construction Limited ('in creditors voluntary liquidation') — 2024

Ms J Collier attended in person, accompanied by her husband, and the respondent did not attend. Employment Judge Read held that the complaint of unfair dismissal was well-founded and found that the claimant had been unfairly dismissed. The tribunal also determined under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996 that she was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £6,771.55.

The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay notice pay under section 86 Employment Rights Act 1996 and ordered payment of £2,902.08. It upheld the holiday pay complaint, finding that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay for holidays accrued but not taken when the claimant's employment ended, and awarded £361.73.

The tribunal found that when the proceedings began the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide a written statement of employment particulars. As there were no exceptional circumstances making an award unjust or inequitable, it ordered payment of £483.68 under section 38 Employment Act 2002. The tribunal noted that no award of future earnings, re-appointment, or re-engagement was made. The awards totalled £10,519.04, subject to the tribunal's note that the claimant is responsible for any appropriate tax or National Insurance on the amounts awarded.
