Claimant v Dendro Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal determined under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996 that the claimant is entitled to a redundancy payment. The respondent did not attend to contest the claim.
The tribunal found the complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay to be well-founded. The respondent failed to pay the claimant's contractual notice. The respondent did not attend to defend the claim.
Facts
The claimant's employment with Dendro Limited ended, apparently by reason of redundancy. The claimant was not paid her statutory redundancy payment nor her contractual notice pay. The respondent did not attend the tribunal hearing to defend the claims.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on both claims by default. The respondent was ordered to pay £5,192.28 in statutory redundancy payment and £5,000 in notice pay (grossed up to account for tax liability on Post Employment Notice Pay).
Practical note
Employers who fail to attend tribunal hearings risk default judgments being entered against them, with the tribunal accepting the claimant's evidence and awarding appropriate statutory and contractual sums.
