Miss R Davis v Respondent — 2019

The respondent had not presented a valid response in time, and the Employment Judge determined the matter on the information before the tribunal. The claim succeeded only in part: the tribunal awarded the claimant £321.93 for notice pay and £744.95 for holiday pay, making a total award of £1,066.88 without deduction and taxable in the claimant's hands.

In its reasons, the tribunal noted that the claimant had referred in a letter dated 13 December 2019 to matters that were not part of the case before it. It recorded that she had not brought a claim for unpaid wages, had not brought a claim for unfair dismissal, and in any event was not entitled to do so because she did not have two years' service.

The tribunal also stated that consequential post-dismissal losses could not therefore be claimed, and that compensation for stress and anxiety could not be awarded in respect of notice pay and holiday pay claims. No separate remedy beyond the two monetary awards was made.
