Claimant v Bailey Montagu
Outcome
Individual claims
The Claimant claimed unpaid employer pension contributions for the first three months of employment. The tribunal found this claim was not well founded and dismissed it.
The Claimant claimed two months' notice pay and associated pension contributions. The tribunal found this claim was not well founded and dismissed it.
Facts
The Claimant brought breach of contract claims against his former employer Bailey Montagu relating to unpaid pension contributions during the first three months of employment and unpaid notice pay with associated pension contributions covering a two-month period. The case was heard at London South Employment Tribunal with both parties representing themselves (the Claimant in person and the Respondent through its managing director Mr Lynn).
Decision
Employment Judge Atkins dismissed both breach of contract claims, finding they were not well founded. The tribunal provided oral reasons at the hearing but did not provide written reasons in the judgment.
Practical note
Claimants alleging breach of contract for unpaid pension contributions and notice pay must provide sufficient evidence to establish their contractual entitlement and the employer's failure to honour it.
