Claimant v The Executive Committee And Members Of Digby South Residents Association For The Time Being
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal accepted the claimant's claim for statutory redundancy payment. The respondent did not attend to defend the claim. The tribunal calculated the claimant's statutory redundancy payment entitlement and awarded the outstanding balance after crediting a partial payment already made by the respondent.
Facts
The claimant, Mrs Christine Voice, brought a claim for statutory redundancy payment against Digby South Residents Association. The respondent had already made a partial payment of £2,500 towards redundancy but had not paid the full amount owed. The respondent did not attend the hearing to defend the claim.
Decision
The tribunal allowed the claim and calculated the claimant's total statutory redundancy payment entitlement at £9,378. After crediting the £2,500 already paid, the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the outstanding balance of £6,878.
Practical note
When an employer fails to attend a redundancy payment hearing and has only made a partial payment, the tribunal will calculate the full statutory entitlement and order payment of the balance due.
