Facts
Mrs Ojeikere was employed by Paystream My Max Limited from March 2021 until her dismissal by reason of redundancy on 12 September 2024. She had completed 3 years of service, all while over the age of 42. She worked an average of 35.5 hours per week at an agreed hourly rate of £15.45. The respondent failed to pay her statutory redundancy payment.
Decision
The tribunal found the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment. Using the statutory formula of 1.5 weeks' pay for each year of service over age 41, the tribunal calculated the payment as £2,468.14 based on her agreed hourly rate and average weekly hours. The respondent was ordered to pay this amount.
Practical note
