Mr Vladimir Kiose v Ozcorp Ltd — 2025

Mr Vladimir Kiose’s claim against Ozcorp Ltd was heard on 23 January 2025 at the East London Hearing Centre by CVP. The respondent was neither present nor represented, had not communicated with the tribunal about its non-attendance, and no response had been presented to the claim. The Employment Judge therefore proceeded in the respondent’s absence under Rule 47 and issued judgment on the available material under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024.

The tribunal awarded the claimant a statutory redundancy payment of £450, calculated as one week at a gross weekly wage of £450. It also awarded £900 for notice pay, calculated as two weeks at the same gross weekly wage, subject to any required deductions for tax and national insurance provided the respondent accounts for the payment to HMRC and the claimant. A further award of £578 was made for holiday pay, also subject to deductions as stated in the judgment.

The judgment records no detailed findings beyond the awards and the basis on which they were calculated. Written reasons were not provided because oral reasons were given at the hearing, and the judgment notes that written reasons would only follow if requested in time.
