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

The tribunal found the respondent failed to comply with s188 TULR(C)A requirements to inform and consult about collective redundancies. There was no recognised trade union or appointed/elected employee representatives, and the respondent failed to fulfil its obligations before making employees redundant. A protective award of 90 days was made.

The tribunal found the respondent breached the claimant's contract by failing to pay notice pay equivalent to 4 weeks. The claimant was entitled to £1,710.76 net for this breach.

The tribunal upheld the claim for unpaid expenses. The respondent was ordered to pay £200 for mileage expenses that should have been reimbursed to the claimant.

The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages in the period 1 to 28 March 2023. The claimant was awarded £2,000 gross, representing the sum unlawfully deducted.

The holiday pay claim failed because the claimant did not provide the details requested by the tribunal in its letter dated 24 January 2024 and therefore failed to prove this element of the claim.

The redundancy pay claim was struck out because the claimant did not have the requisite length of service (normally 2 years) to bring such a claim.
