- The tribunal heard oral evidence from the claimant.
- The relevant law is Article 45(1) of the Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 which states as follows:-
- The claimant was employed by the respondent to sell advertising.
- The duration of his employment with the respondent lasted from 25 June 2007 to 10 August 2007 – a period of seven weeks. He was to receive the sum of £300 gross per week, and his nett weekly wage was £220. The claimant did not pursue a claim for car expenses.
- The claimant's claim was for five weeks net pay as he indicated he did not expect to be paid for one week's holiday that he took at the start of his employment or for his five days of sick leave.
- Accordingly the tribunal declares that the claimant is entitled to receive the sum of five weeks net pay – 5 x £220 = £1,100.
- This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.
