Claimant v Henderson Claims Limited

The tribunal found the respondent made unauthorised deductions from wages totalling £10,434.56, representing unpaid gross pay for July to November 2024 minus partial payments made. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and judgment was entered under Rule 22.

The tribunal found the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. Damages of £1,744.20 were awarded calculated using gross pay to reflect post-employment notice pay tax liability.

The respondent breached the claimant's contract by failing to reimburse £5.40 for postage charges (stamps for business use) that the claimant had incurred on behalf of the respondent.

The respondent failed to pay the claimant's accrued but untaken holiday entitlement. The tribunal awarded £1,392.00 representing the value of unpaid holiday pay.

The tribunal found the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment calculated as 1 week's pay (£576.92) multiplied by 3 weeks, totalling £1,730.76.
