Mr Paul Bunting v Norfabs Limited AT A HEARING — 2026

The tribunal recorded that Mr Paul Bunting was dismissed without notice by reason of redundancy on 15 July 2025. Norfabs Limited did not enter an appearance and did not attend the CVP hearing before Employment Judge Lancaster at Leeds on 29 April 2026.

The redundancy payment claim succeeded. The respondent was ordered to pay £7,190.00, calculated by reference to one week's pay, capped at £719.00, for each continuous year of employment. The extracted text gives dates for continuous employment that are internally unclear, but the amount awarded is stated in the judgment.

The wrongful dismissal claim succeeded. The tribunal awarded £1,440.00 as pay in lieu of notice, covering two weeks from 15 July 2025 until the claimant commenced alternative employment in mitigation of loss, at £720.00 gross per week based on 40 hours at £18.00 per hour.

The tribunal found a series of unauthorised deductions from wages for the period 2 June to 15 July 2025 and awarded £3,396.45, comprising statutory sick pay amounts and unpaid wages. It also found breach of contract because employee pension contributions deducted from wages for the 13-week period from 17 November 2024 to 16 February 2025 had not been paid to the pension provider, and awarded £374.40. The holiday pay claim was dismissed because the claimant had taken two weeks' leave plus bank holidays and had no outstanding accrued holiday entitlement. The total of the monetary awards recorded is £12,400.85.
