APPEARANCES:

 

The claimant was self-represented.

 

The respondent did not attend and was not represented.

 

 

 

1.            An oral judgment, with reasons, was given at the end of the hearing. 

 

2.            The tribunal found, for reasons which were delivered orally at the conclusion of the hearing, that the claimant’s claim for payment of annual leave outstanding, at the termination of her employment, was well-founded against the respondent.

 

3.            The tribunal also found that the claimant’s claim for payment of notice pay outstanding, at the termination of her employment, was well-founded against the respondent.

 

4.            The claimant’s entitlement to holiday pay is calculated as:-

 

£8.21 (hourly rate) x 4 = £32.84 (daily rate) x 12 = £394.08 (gross)

 

£8.21 x 4 = £32.84 x 5 (outstanding Bank Holiday payment) = £164.20 (gross)

 

 

5.            The claimant’s entitlement to notice pay is calculated as follows:-

 

£98.52 (weekly rate of pay) less £80.02 (Furlough money received) = £18.52 (gross) (notice money outstanding).

 

6.            The tribunal concluded that the claimant is owed the sum of £394.08 for 12 days’ outstanding annual leave.  The tribunal also concluded that the claimant is owed an amount of £164.20 for a further five days’ outstanding annual leave for days which were bank holidays.

 

7.            The tribunal further concluded that the claimant is owed a sum of £18.50 in respect of notice pay.

           

8.            The respondent is therefore ordered to pay the claimant a total amount of £576.78.

 

9.            This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.
