Claimant v Knights of Old Limited (in administration)
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal made a protective award on 20 September 2024 following the first respondent's failure to consult under the collective redundancy provisions. The administrators consented to the claim proceeding. The claimant was entitled to remuneration during the protected period.
The claimant was awarded £2,025.65 representing the unpaid balance of the protective award. The claimant's weekly gross pay was £416.80, entitling them to £5,360.05 during the protected period, less £3,334.40 already paid by the Secretary of State.
Facts
The first respondent entered administration and dismissed employees including the claimant. The administrators consented to protective award proceedings. At a hearing on 20 September 2024, the tribunal made a protective award in favour of the claimant. The claimant's weekly gross pay was £416.80. The Secretary of State had already paid £3,334.40 on account of the protective award, leaving a balance unpaid.
Decision
The tribunal ordered the first respondent to pay the claimant £2,025.65 representing the unpaid balance of the protective award. The claimant was entitled to £5,360.05 during the protected period, less the amount already received from the Secretary of State. The Recoupment Regulations apply to this award.
Practical note
Where an insolvent employer fails to consult on collective redundancies and the Secretary of State makes partial payment, the tribunal will still enter judgment for the unpaid balance of the protective award against the employer in administration.
