In person For the v Boiler Pointer Ltd — 2022

The tribunal heard the case in the respondent's absence after unsuccessful attempts to contact it and no notification that it would not attend. The claimant gave oral evidence only. The tribunal accepted that she tendered her resignation by email on 6 January 2021 after a conversation with Mr Arshad, and that her employment ended on that date.

The tribunal accepted the claimant's evidence that her contract required one month's notice from either side. It found that the respondent had advanced only a bare denial and had given no valid reason for withholding notice pay. The tribunal therefore found that the respondent was in breach of contract in failing to pay notice pay when it dismissed the claimant without notice.

On remedy, the tribunal found that the claimant had not been paid for January 2021 and that her monthly pay before tax was £1,550, with normal take-home pay of £1,394. The judgment orders damages of £1,394 for the breach and states that the claimant is responsible for any income tax or employee National Insurance contributions that may become due on the damages.
