    THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS

    CASE REF: 521/06

    CLAIMANT: Elizabeth Kirkpatrick

    RESPONDENT: Marcus Cunningham

    DECISION ON REMEDY

    The decision of the tribunal is that the claimant is entitled to compensation in the sum of £1,531.86 for redundancy pay and unpaid wages.

    Constitution of Tribunal:

    Chairman (sitting alone): Mrs P Smyth

    Appearances:

    The claimant appeared in person.

    The respondent did not appear, nor was he represented.

    Reasons

  1. A default judgment was made on 28 June 2006 in respect of the complaints of redundancy pay and unpaid wages.
  2. This hearing was arranged to consider remedy. Having heard evidence from the claimant I am satisfied that she is entitled to be compensated as follows:-
  3. 2.1 Redundancy payment
    The claimant's age at the date of dismissal was 55. She had five completed years of service. Her gross pay was £189.38 per week:-
    71/2 x £189.38 = £1,420.35
    The claimant is therefore entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,420.35.

    2.2 Unpaid wages
    The claimant did not received her pay for Week 39, her last working week. By agreement her hours had reduced that week due to the financial difficulties of the business. She is entitled to her net pay for that week which amounts to £111.51.

  4. This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1996.
  5. Chairman:

    Date and place of hearing: 21 September 2006, Belfast
