EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4105558/2022 Held at Aberdeen on January 2023 Employment Judge N M Hosie Mrs N Sutherland v Hrafn Shetland Ltd — 2023

The claimant, Mrs N Sutherland, appeared in person and the respondent did not appear. The tribunal recorded that the claim was not defended. On the basis of the claim form and supporting documents, the tribunal was satisfied that she had been employed by Hrafn Shetland Ltd as a Shop Assistant and had 20 complete years' continuous employment from 9 May 2002 until her dismissal in August 2022, which the tribunal recorded as a summary dismissal.

The tribunal upheld the claim for unlawful deductions from wages and awarded £1,703 for 131 hours' work at £13 per hour. It also upheld the Working Time Regulations claim and awarded £104 for one day's accrued annual leave at the same hourly rate. The tribunal upheld the breach of contract claim for failure to give notice and awarded £4,764.50, being 12 weeks' notice at £397.04 per week.

The tribunal further upheld the redundancy payment claim and awarded £6,154.12 based on the claimant's 20 years' service, using the Gov.UK redundancy calculator. It also made an award of £794.08 for the respondent's failure to provide a written statement of terms and conditions of employment, calculated as two weeks' pay. The tribunal noted that, although the claimant said she had not received a P60 or P45, it had no authority to order the respondent to issue those documents.
