Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent was not in breach of contract in failing to pay the claimant an enhanced redundancy payment. The claimant's complaint was not well founded and was dismissed.
The tribunal found that the respondent did not discriminate against the claimant under sections 13 and 39(2)(d) of the Equality Act 2010 by not paying her an enhanced redundancy payment. The complaint was not well founded and was dismissed.
Facts
The claimant was made redundant by the respondent and brought claims for breach of contract and discrimination relating to the respondent's failure to pay her an enhanced redundancy payment. The case was heard over two days before Employment Judge Brain in Leeds.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed both claims, finding that the respondent was not in breach of contract in failing to pay an enhanced redundancy payment and had not discriminated against the claimant under the Equality Act 2010.
Practical note
Without contractual entitlement or discriminatory treatment established, a claim for enhanced redundancy payment will fail even where the claimant is unrepresented against a represented employer.
