The tribunal found the claimant's claim for notice pay well-founded and awarded £3,720.00 subject to deductions for tax and National Insurance. The respondent did not attend to contest the claim.
The tribunal found the claimant's claim for arrears of pay not well-founded and dismissed this claim. No further reasoning was provided in this judgment.
Facts
Mrs Barrs brought claims against her former employer Your Staff Solutions, which was in administration. The respondent did not attend the hearing. The claimant sought redundancy payment, notice pay, and arrears of pay.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant for redundancy payment (£9,300) and notice pay (£3,720 gross), but dismissed the claim for arrears of pay. The claimant's costs application was also refused.
Practical note
In default judgment cases where a respondent in administration does not attend, tribunals will still assess each claim on its merits and may reject claims that are not well-founded.
