Mrs R Vierra v Pinford End Nursing Home CORRECTED — 2024

The claim was presented in the Watford Employment Tribunal on 30 January 2024. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure. The judgment therefore recorded the claimant's monetary claims on the basis of the material before the tribunal.

The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £1,812.24 gross. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £2,416.32 in damages.

The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment. The corrected reasons explain that the redundancy payment was calculated as 16 years' service x £643 per week (capped) x 1.5, producing £15,432. The judgment also records that the respondent failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,875.60.

The total amount payable to the claimant was corrected to £21,536.16. The corrected reasons state that paragraph 4 of the original judgment contained an error in the calculation of the redundancy payment, and that the total at paragraph 6 was corrected accordingly.
