Mr I Guthrie v Glendale Alarms & Security Systems Ltd — 2026

No response was presented to Mr I Guthrie's claim, and Employment Judge R Phillips issued judgment on the available material under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024.

The tribunal found that Glendale Alarms & Security Systems Ltd had made an unauthorised deduction from wages by not paying wages due by the payment date or since. It ordered payment of the gross sum of £600, calculated as 40 hours at £15 per hour by reference to the claimant's payslip for 13 January 2025 to 19 January 2025.

The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £15,139.68, calculated as 24 weeks at £630.82 per week. It also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £7,569.84 as 12 weeks' pay in damages.

The total of the three monetary awards recorded in the judgment is £23,309.52. The judgment permits the respondent to deduct any legally required Income Tax and employee National Insurance contributions from the wage and notice-pay sums before payment, provided it remits those deductions to HMRC and gives the claimant written evidence of the deductions and remittance.
