Claimant v Burnt Ash Pre-School
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal determined under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996 that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment. The respondent had already made a partial payment but the full entitlement had not been satisfied.
Facts
Ms Duck worked for Burnt Ash Pre-School and her employment ended by reason of redundancy. The respondent made a partial redundancy payment of £1604.37 but this did not satisfy the full statutory entitlement.
Decision
The tribunal determined that the claimant was entitled to a total statutory redundancy payment of £3663.23 under section 163 ERA 1996. After crediting the £1604.37 already paid, the respondent was ordered to pay the outstanding balance of £2058.86.
Practical note
Employers must ensure they calculate and pay the full statutory redundancy payment entitlement; partial payments do not discharge the obligation and tribunals will order payment of the shortfall.
