The respondent did not appear.
1. The claimant did not attend the hearing; but forwarded documentary evidence relating to her claim. The respondent presented a response and indicated that it did not intend to resist the claim. It also confirmed by correspondence that it did not object to the claim proceeding. Based on the information before me, I make the following findings of fact.

5. The claimant makes claims for redundancy payment, unpaid wages and notice pay. The claimant quantifies her unpaid wages as £1,510.00.
6. After considering the evidence of the claimant, the tribunal is satisfied her claims are well-founded. The tribunal makes the following awards:-
