Claimant v Kunal Minimarket Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to statutory redundancy pay. The tribunal calculated and awarded the statutory redundancy payment of £6,240.
The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract, specifically that she was not paid for her full notice period. The tribunal awarded damages for the balance owed in the gross sum of £1,360.
The tribunal found that the claimant's claim for accrued but untaken holiday pay on termination of employment was well founded. The tribunal determined that £663.52 in holiday pay had been unlawfully deducted from her wages.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Kunal Minimarket Ltd and was dismissed by reason of redundancy. Upon termination, the respondent failed to pay the claimant statutory redundancy pay, the full notice period entitlement, and accrued but untaken holiday pay. The claimant brought claims for these unpaid amounts.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on all three claims. The respondent was ordered to pay £6,240 in statutory redundancy pay, £1,360 in damages for breach of contract relating to notice pay, and £663.52 for unlawfully deducted holiday pay, totalling £8,263.52.
Practical note
Employers must ensure that all statutory and contractual entitlements including redundancy pay, notice pay, and accrued holiday pay are paid on termination of employment to avoid successful tribunal claims.
