Claimant v Sole Biz Limited (in creditors' voluntary liquidation)

The tribunal found the respondent failed to provide proper notice pay. The claim was well-founded and damages for breach of contract in relation to notice pay were awarded at £2,059.20 representing 4 weeks gross pay.

The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy. The tribunal found she was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment and ordered the respondent to pay £3,088.80.

The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay for holidays accrued but not taken on termination. The respondent was ordered to pay £503.36 for accrued holiday pay.

The tribunal found the dismissal was unfair. However, no basic award was made as it was extinguished by the redundancy payment. No compensatory award was made as the claimant was receiving notice pay and employment would likely have ended anyway.

No award was made in respect of wages in the absence of information concerning the amounts claimed. The tribunal did not determine this claim due to lack of particulars.

The tribunal found the respondent failed to comply with requirements of TULR(C)A 1992 s188 regarding collective consultation. A protective award was made for 90 days beginning 5 July 2024, though not quantified at this stage.
