Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Smail, sitting in Exeter by video, found in favour of the claimant on all four complaints after the respondent did not appear. The Tribunal accepted that the claimant was given notice of redundancy from 4 November 2024, was asked to work only 2 of 4 weeks of notice, and was paid only for 1 of those weeks. The effective date of termination was 15 November 2024.
The judge calculated entitlements based on monthly gross pay of £2,281.67 (a week's pay of £526.53). The respondent was ordered to pay a redundancy payment of £5,265.29, £526.53 for the unpaid worked week, £1,053.06 for the balance of notice, and £2,558.70 for accrued holiday pay, giving a total of £9,403.67.

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.
