Claimant v Fly Studios Ltd

The tribunal found the dismissal was unfair. The respondent failed to attend the hearing to defend the claim, and the claimant provided sufficient evidence to establish that the dismissal was unfair under the Employment Rights Act 1996.

The tribunal found the redundancy pay claim was not well founded. This suggests that either the claimant was not dismissed by reason of redundancy, or she did not meet the qualifying criteria for a statutory redundancy payment.

The tribunal found the respondent had unlawfully deducted wages from the claimant, awarding £891.76 net for unpaid wages and £1,440 gross for unpaid pension contributions. The respondent's failure to attend meant these deductions were not justified.

The tribunal found the respondent breached the claimant's contract by failing to pay notice pay. The claimant was awarded £2,305.98 net representing damages for this breach.

The tribunal found the claimant was entitled to payment for unpaid accrued annual leave of £516.94 gross, representing holiday entitlement that had accrued but not been paid or taken at termination.
