Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs P Carr worked for The Alteration Co Ltd from 1 May 2009 until 25 September 2020. She earned £328.40 gross per week and £291.90 net per week. The respondent did not enter a response and did not attend the hearing. Ms Carr sought payment of redundancy, notice and holiday pay after receiving a letter dated 24 September 2020 stating that the company would cease trading on 30 September 2020 and that her services were no longer required.
The tribunal found that the employment ended for reasons of redundancy. It awarded a redundancy payment of £5,419, calculated as 16.5 weeks at the claimant’s gross weekly pay. It also found that the claimant was entitled to 11 weeks’ notice of termination, accepted that she had only received 1 week, and awarded 10 weeks’ notice pay in the sum of £2,919.
On holiday pay, the tribunal found that the claimant’s holiday year ran on a calendar-year basis and that she was entitled to four weeks’ annual leave plus public holidays. By the end of September 2020 she had accrued three weeks’ annual leave, had taken one week, and was therefore owed two weeks’ pay for accrued but untaken leave. That sum was calculated at £584. The total amounts awarded were £5,419, £2,919 and £584.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
