Claimant v Brad Rogerson
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the claim well founded. The respondent did not attend or defend the claim, and the tribunal was satisfied on the evidence presented that the dismissal was unfair.
The tribunal found the statutory redundancy payment claim well founded. The respondent failed to pay the statutory entitlement due to the claimant upon termination.
The tribunal awarded 4 weeks notice pay, finding that the respondent breached the employment contract by failing to provide proper notice or payment in lieu.
The tribunal found the claimant had 2.332 days of untaken annual leave accrued and unpaid at termination, constituting a breach of contract and Working Time Regulations 1998.
Facts
Gemma Armstrong was dismissed by Brad Rogerson, her employer. She was entitled to 4 weeks notice pay at £452.01 per week and had 2.332 days of untaken holiday at termination. The respondent failed to attend the tribunal hearing or defend the claims.
Decision
The tribunal found all claims well founded in favour of the claimant, awarding unfair dismissal compensation, statutory redundancy payment, notice pay, and holiday pay totalling £3,658.34. The respondent's non-attendance meant the claims were uncontested.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to attend or defend claims, a tribunal may still find claims well founded on the claimant's uncontested evidence and award full remedies.
