Claimant v Society Restaurant Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The Tribunal found the claim for unpaid notice pay to be well-founded. The respondent failed to pay the claimant the notice pay he was entitled to upon termination of employment. The Tribunal ordered payment of the balance of notice due.
Facts
Mr Vacek worked for Society Restaurant Limited and his employment was terminated. The respondent failed to pay him the full amount of notice pay to which he was contractually entitled. He brought a claim for breach of contract to recover unpaid notice pay. The hearing was conducted remotely and the respondent was represented by its General Manager.
Decision
The Tribunal found the claim for unpaid notice pay well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay £2,916.67, representing the balance of notice pay due to the claimant following termination of his employment.
Practical note
Employers must pay contractual notice pay on termination, and failure to do so results in a successful breach of contract claim in the employment tribunal.
