Claimant v Clicks Bar and Grill Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the claim for redundancy payment well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay the claimant a statutory redundancy payment of £2,436.92. The claimant was made redundant in March/April 2023 and was entitled to statutory redundancy pay.
Facts
Mrs Petrie was made redundant by Clicks Bar and Grill Ltd in approximately March/April 2023. The respondent's sole director, Ms Ashwell, paid her £1,000 in connection with the redundancy, but did not pay the full statutory redundancy payment due. The respondent did not appear at the remedy hearing held by video link.
Decision
The tribunal found the claim for redundancy payment well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay £2,436.92. The tribunal directed that if this payment is made by the respondent, the claimant should give credit for the £1,000 already paid, but made no finding about how this should be treated under the statutory Redundancy Payments Scheme if payment comes from that source.
Practical note
This remedy hearing demonstrates the tribunal's approach to giving credit for partial payments already made when ordering statutory redundancy payments, with recognition that the credit arrangement may differ depending on whether payment comes from the employer or the government scheme.
