Claimant v Magic Media Works Limited

The tribunal found the claimant was entitled to statutory redundancy payment. The respondent was ordered to pay the full amount claimed of £2,100.00, indicating the dismissal was by reason of redundancy and the claimant met the qualifying criteria.

The tribunal found the respondent breached the contract by failing to pay contractual redundancy entitlement of £1,716.00. This was a separate contractual obligation beyond the statutory redundancy payment, which the respondent failed to honour.

The tribunal found the respondent dismissed the claimant without providing the full contractual notice period. The award of £11,024.00 represents damages for this breach, calculated as pay in lieu of notice for the period the claimant should have worked or been paid for.

The tribunal found the respondent failed to pay the claimant for accrued but untaken annual leave upon termination of employment. This constituted an unauthorised deduction from wages under the Employment Rights Act 1996, requiring payment of £2,480.00.
