The first respondent conceded liability for notice pay at the hearing. The claimant was entitled to 12 weeks' notice pay at £91.52 per week.

Facts

Ms Murphy brought claims against two respondents in relation to the termination of her employment. She had over 20 years of service and was paid £91.52 per week gross. She claimed unpaid holiday pay, redundancy pay, and notice pay. The first respondent conceded that they, rather than the second respondent, were legally liable for the claims.

Decision

The tribunal dismissed the holiday pay claim following the claimant's withdrawal and dismissed all claims against the second respondent. The first respondent conceded liability for redundancy pay of £2,745.60 and notice pay of £1,098.24, which the tribunal ordered them to pay.

Practical note

Where liability is conceded at a hearing, tribunals can make consent orders for redundancy and notice pay based on agreed calculations without requiring full evidential hearings.
