THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS
CASE REF: 1388/17
CLAIMANT: Brian Gregory Barron
RESPONDENT: Department for the Economy
DECISION
(A)
Pursuant to Article 205 of the Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 ("ERO"), and for that purpose, I determine that, in December 2016,
Mr Brendan Bannon became liable to make a redundancy payment of £2,265 to the claimant.
(B)
The claimant's appeal in respect of holiday pay under Article 233 of ERO is not
well-founded and it is accordingly dismissed.
(C)
The claimant's appeal in respect of notice pay under Article 233 of ERO is
well-founded and the Department ought to pay £623 to the claimant in respect of notice pay.
Constitution of Tribunal:
Employment Judge (sitting alone): Employment Judge Buggy
Appearances:
The claimant was self-represented.
The Department was represented by Mr Neil Cruikshanks.
REASONS
1. I announced my decision at the end of the hearing. At the same time, brief oral reasons for that Decision were given.
2. The claimant provided sworn oral testimony in these proceedings. In light of that testimony, and having considered documentary evidence, the respondent Department is now satisfied that the claimant was indeed employed by Mr Bannon from 4 April 2005 until 23 December 2016.
3. This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.
