THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS
CASE REF: 1662/14
CLAIMANT: Gerard Christopher Lennon
RESPONDENTS: Roisin Campbell and Gareth Campbell
t/a Absolute Marketing
DECISION
The unanimous decision of the tribunal is set out at Paragraph 4. below.
Constitution of Tribunal:
Employment Judge (sitting alone): Employment Judge Buchanan
Appearances:
The claimant appeared in person and was not represented.
The respondents did not appear, nor were they represented.
Mr N Cruickshanks, for Department of Employment and Learning.
1. The title of the respondents was amended to that now shown above.
2. The respondents entered a late response which was rejected, and they have not sought a review of that decision.
3. The Department of Employment and Learning, which was originally a party to these proceedings, was dismissed as a respondent, with the consent of the claimant.
4 I am satisfied that the claimant, Mr Lennon, is an honest witness and on the basis of his evidence, I hereby order that the respondents pay to the claimant the following sums:-
(a) a redundancy payment of £11,280.00 calculated on the basis that the claimant had 16 years’ complete service, was aged 57 at the time of his dismissal, and had a gross weekly wage of £800.00 (to which the statutory cap of £470.00 is applied).
The multiplier is 24 (24 x £470.00 = £11,280.00);
(b) a sum of £7,224.00 in respect of breach of contract
(12 weeks’ notice pay on a net weekly wage of £602.00); and
(c) a sum of £327.09 in respect of unpaid holiday pay.
5. This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.
