Claimant v Emtac Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay well-founded. The respondent failed to attend the hearing and did not contest the claim. The claimant was awarded damages calculated using gross pay to reflect the tax implications of Post Employment Notice Pay.
Facts
Mrs Britain brought a claim for breach of contract in relation to unpaid notice pay against her former employer Emtac Limited. The respondent company failed to attend the hearing and did not contest the claim. The tribunal heard from the claimant in person.
Decision
The tribunal found the breach of contract claim for notice pay well-founded and awarded the claimant £11,250 as damages. The award was calculated using gross pay to account for the tax liability on Post Employment Notice Pay.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to attend and contest a claim, the tribunal will still examine the evidence but may find in favor of the claimant if the claim is properly made out.
