Claimant v AMC 2020 Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the period from 1 October 2024 to 30 October 2024. The claimant was entitled to the full gross sum of £3442.36 for that period.
The tribunal found the respondent failed to pay the claimant's contractual notice pay. The claimant was entitled to six weeks statutory notice pay at £550.39 net per week, totalling £3302.37.
Under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal determined the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment calculated at the statutory cap of £700 gross weekly pay multiplied by 1.5, resulting in £6300.
Facts
The claimant was employed by the respondent company until 30 October 2024. She was made redundant. During her final month of employment (1-30 October 2024), the respondent failed to pay her wages amounting to £3442.36. The respondent also failed to pay her six weeks statutory notice pay or her statutory redundancy payment.
Decision
The tribunal upheld all three of the claimant's claims, finding the respondent had unlawfully deducted wages for October 2024, breached her contract by failing to pay notice, and failed to pay statutory redundancy. The total award was £13,044.73 comprising unpaid wages, notice pay and redundancy payment.
Practical note
Employers who make employees redundant must ensure full payment of final wages, statutory notice pay, and statutory redundancy entitlements to avoid successful tribunal claims.
