Outcome

The tribunal found the claimant was continuously employed by the first respondent from 1 February 2017 until dismissal by reason of redundancy on 19 July 2024, entitling him to a statutory redundancy payment.
The tribunal found unpaid wages were due to the claimant at the time of his dismissal by reason of redundancy, awarding £3,490.95 gross in unpaid wages.
The tribunal found unpaid holiday pay was due to the claimant at the time of his dismissal by reason of redundancy, awarding £592.00 gross in unpaid holiday pay.
Facts
Mr Knight was employed by HM Plumbing and Maintenance Services Limited from 1 February 2017 until he was dismissed by reason of redundancy on 19 July 2024, after over 7 years of continuous service. At the time of his dismissal, the employer owed him unpaid wages and holiday pay. The respondents did not attend the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal entered judgment against the first respondent for £7,973.20 gross, comprising statutory redundancy payment (£3,890.25), unpaid wages (£3,490.95), and unpaid holiday pay (£592.00). The claim against the second respondent, Mr Jones, was dismissed.
Practical note
Employers who make employees redundant without paying owed wages, holiday pay, and statutory redundancy will face default judgments if they fail to participate in tribunal proceedings.
