Claimant v Qube Qualifications and Development Limited (in Creditors Voluntary Liquidation)

The tribunal found that the respondent failed to comply with s188 TULR(C)A requirements to inform and consult regarding collective redundancies. There was no recognised trade union or appointed/elected employee representatives, and the respondent did not fulfil its statutory obligations before making redundancies at the establishment.

The tribunal upheld the complaint for breach of contract in relation to notice pay. The respondent failed to pay the claimant the 8 weeks' notice pay to which she was entitled upon termination of employment.

The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages for the period 1 to 28 March 2023. The claimant was not paid wages owed for work performed during this period before the employment ended.

Under s163 Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal determined the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment. The respondent failed to make this payment following the claimant's redundancy dismissal.
