Claimant v Park View Services (Barking) Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to respond to the claim. The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded for the period 1 October 2024 to 6 November 2024 under Rule 22.
The respondent breached the claimant's contract of employment by failing to pay her full monthly salary for July 2024, which remained outstanding on termination. This was determined in a default judgment under Rule 22.
The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy. Under s135 Employment Rights Act 1996, she is entitled to a statutory redundancy payment calculated using the formula in s163 ERA 1996.
