Claimant v Home Maintenance & Solutions Limited

The tribunal found the dismissal was procedurally unfair. However, the tribunal applied a 100% Polkey reduction, finding that the claimant would have been fairly dismissed in any event had a proper procedure been followed. The claimant was awarded only £500 compensatory award reflecting this.

The tribunal determined under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996 that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment. The claimant was awarded £1,400 in redundancy pay.

The tribunal found the respondent breached the claimant's contract by failing to pay notice pay. The claimant was entitled to 4 weeks' notice pay at £350 per week, totalling £1,400 gross to account for post-employment notice pay tax treatment.

The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages in the period 1 October to 28 October 2024. The claimant should have been paid £2,520 but the respondent was only entitled to deduct £1,930 for damage to a company vehicle, leaving an unlawful deduction of £590.

The tribunal found the complaint of holiday pay was not well-founded and dismissed this claim without providing detailed reasoning in the judgment.
