Claimant v Alp Financial Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to notice pay which had not been paid by the respondent. The claim for breach of contract succeeded and the respondent was ordered to pay £2,559.70 representing the unpaid notice period.
Facts
Mr de Sibert was employed by Alp Financial Ltd from 7 November 2023 to 31 October 2024. Following the termination of his employment, he brought a claim for breach of contract relating to unpaid notice pay. The respondent brought a counterclaim for monies allegedly owed by the claimant. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by an in-house solicitor.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on his breach of contract claim and awarded him £2,559.70 for unpaid notice pay. The claimant admitted liability for £245.39 of the respondent's counterclaim, and the respondent withdrew the balance of their counterclaim in the sum of £749.60.
Practical note
Employers must ensure proper payment of contractual notice pay upon termination, and respondents may pursue legitimate counterclaims for monies owed but should withdraw unsubstantiated amounts.
