RESPONDENT: Peninsula Bathing Solutions Ltd
DECISION
I hereby declare that the claimant is entitled to a redundancy payment in the sum of £1,440.00.
The respondent is also ordered to pay damages to the claimant for breach of contract for failure to give notice or to make a payment in lieu of notice in the sum of £776.00.
Constitution of Tribunal
Chairman: Mrs M Davey
Appearances
The claimant appeared in person.
The respondent was neither present nor represented.
Reasons
