CASE REF: 1831/11
CLAIMANT: Danielle Joanne McKeag
RESPONDENTS: Harry Boy and Judith McComiskey
T/A Saks Hair & Beauty
DECISION
The decision of the tribunal is that the claimant is entitled a redundancy payment in the sum of £1,976.00 and notice pay in the sum of £1,878.47.
Constitution of Tribunal:
Chairman (sitting alone): Mr P Kinney
Appearances:
The claimant appeared in person and represented herself.
The respondents did not appear and were not represented.
1. The claimant was employed by the respondents until 28 June 2011 when the claimant received a telephone call simply saying that the respondents’ premises were closed. The claimant was aged 30 at the date of dismissal and had 11 continuous years of service with the respondents. At the date of termination the claimant’s gross salary was £208.00 and net weekly was £170.77. The claimant did not receive notice pay nor did she receive Jobseeker’s Allowance.
2. I am satisfied the claimant’s claims are well-founded and I award the claimant the sum of £1,976.00 for redundancy pay. The claimant is also entitled to 11 weeks’ notice pay based on her net weekly wage of £170.77. The claimant is therefore entitled to notice pay of £1,878.47.
3. This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.
