Mr J McGrory v CCM Courier Express Limited — 2023

The tribunal found that Mr J McGrory was dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded him a redundancy payment of £8,400. The decision records that at the effective date of termination he was 66 years old, had been continuously employed for 14 years, and had a weekly gross wage of £400. On that basis, the tribunal calculated entitlement to 21 weeks' pay under the redundancy provisions.

The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It awarded damages of £4,800, calculated as 12 weeks' pay at £400 per week. The reasons contain a transcription issue in the wording of the notice calculation, but the arithmetic used by the tribunal is clear from the figure awarded.

Finally, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay holiday entitlement accrued but untaken on termination. It accepted that the claimant had accrued 24 days' holiday, taken 15 days, leaving 9 days outstanding. Using the net weekly pay figure of £368, the tribunal calculated a daily rate of £52.43 and awarded £471.87 for untaken holiday. The judgment does not record any additional award for interest or other heads of loss, and the bottom-line figures are limited to the three sums awarded for redundancy, notice and holiday pay.
