Ms A Mollick v Renaissance Personnel Ltd — 2025

The claim was presented on 17 December 2024 and the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure. This was a default judgment on the papers, and the tribunal made findings and awards on the pleaded heads of claim.

The tribunal held that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages and ordered payment of £5,530.33 net. That figure comprised £4,424.26 net unpaid wages plus a 25% ACAS uplift of £1,106.07 for breach of the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures. The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract as to notice and awarded £896.24 in damages.

The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £896.24. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay holiday entitlement and awarded £270.76. In relation to unfair dismissal, the tribunal awarded £500 compensation for loss of statutory rights and recorded that recoupment did not apply to that sum.

The tribunal further found failures to provide statutory employment documents. It awarded £896.24 for failure to provide a written statement of reasons for dismissal under s.92(2) Employment Rights Act 1996, with the amount described as two weeks’ pay under s.93(2). It also awarded £896.24 for failure to give a new statement of employment particulars for the claimant’s Care Coordinator role under s.4 ERA 1996 and s.38 Employment Act 2002. The total award was £9,886.05 and the hearing listed for 1 July 2025 was cancelled.
