Ms H Bell v Kenneth Martin Photography Ltd — 2022

Ms H Bell succeeded in four claims against Kenneth Martin Photography Limited. The tribunal found that she was entitled to a redundancy payment of £8,756.06 on termination of employment and that this sum had not been paid. It also found that she was entitled to 12 weeks' notice but received none, so she was wrongfully dismissed, with damages assessed at £3,686.76 gross.

The tribunal further found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages in relation to commission earned in the period 25 November to 31 December 2022, and ordered payment of £501.00 gross. It also found a breach of contract in failing to reimburse expenses incurred between 1 August and 31 December 2022, awarding £93.50 as damages.

The judgment records that the respondent was permitted to deduct income tax and employee national insurance contributions, if required by law, from the sums awarded at paragraphs 2 and 3 before payment of the balance to the claimant. No separate findings on discrimination or other statutory claims appear in the judgment.
