Mr R Gerrard v MEB Services Ltd — 2026

No response had been presented to the claim, so the Employment Judge issued judgment on the available material under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages by not paying the full wages due and ordered payment of £2,038.50 gross, calculated as 14 days at 9 hours per day at £15.10 per hour plus 6 hours overtime at £22.65 per hour. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay holiday entitlement and had made an unauthorised deduction from wages accordingly, awarding £1,902.60 gross on the basis of 14 days at 9 hours per day at £15.10 per hour.

The tribunal further held that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded damages of £2,038.50 net, calculated as 3 weeks' pay at £679.50 per week. It also found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £679.50, calculated as 1 week at £679.50. The judgment allowed the respondent to deduct any required Income Tax and employee National Insurance Contributions before payment, and the total of the awards was £6,659.10 before any such deductions.
