Claimant v Pro Earthmoving Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was well-founded. The respondent failed to attend or defend the claim. The claimant was awarded damages for notice pay.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim for breach of contract relating to notice pay against Pro Earthmoving Ltd. The respondent failed to attend the hearing or file any response. The tribunal heard the case in the respondent's absence with the claimant appearing in person.
Decision
The tribunal found the breach of contract claim well-founded and awarded the claimant £726.63 in damages for notice pay. The award was calculated on a gross basis to account for the likelihood the claimant would have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay.
Practical note
Employers who fail to attend tribunal hearings risk default judgments being entered against them for the full amount claimed where the claim is made out.
