Claimant v Thoughtstream Consulting Ltd

The respondent did not appear at the hearing. The tribunal found the complaint of unfair dismissal well-founded and determined the claimant was unfairly dismissed. A compensatory award was made reflecting loss suffered by the claimant.

Under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal determined the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment. The dismissal appears to have been for redundancy and the statutory payment was calculated and awarded.

The complaint regarding holiday pay was well-founded. The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages, was in breach of contract, and failed to pay for accrued but untaken holiday entitlement on termination in accordance with the Working Time Regulations 1998.

The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in respect of holiday pay entitlement that should have been paid on termination of employment.
