Facts
Tracey Shaw was dismissed by reason of redundancy from Savace Limited after 7 years of employment. She worked 36 hours per week at an hourly rate of £12.42, giving a weekly pay of £447.12. The respondent failed to present a valid response to her claim for statutory redundancy payment.
Decision
The tribunal determined the claim under rule 21 following the respondent's failure to respond. The claimant was awarded statutory redundancy payment of £4,694.76 calculated on the basis of 7 years service with the appropriate age multiplier of 1.5. The scheduled full hearing was cancelled.
Practical note
Rule 21 default judgments allow tribunals to determine claims on the papers where respondents fail to respond, with redundancy payments calculated according to the statutory formula based on weekly pay, length of service and age.
