THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS
CASE REF: 4231/17
CLAIMANT: Jonathan Wilson
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 Chris McClintock was liable to make a redundancy payment to the claimant. (The precise amount of that liability will be agreed between the parties or, if not, will be assessed during the course of a future remedies hearing).
(B) The claimant's appeal in respect of wages under Article 233 of ERO is
well-founded. (The precise amount due to the claimant in respect of wages will be agreed between the parties or, if not, will be assessed during the course of a future remedies hearing).
(C) The claimant's appeal in respect of holiday pay under Article 233 of ERO is
well-founded. (The precise amount due to the claimant in respect of holiday pay will be agreed between the parties or, if not, will be assessed during the course of a future remedies hearing).
(D) The claimant's appeal in respect of notice pay, under Article 233 of ERO is
well-founded. (The precise amount which is due to the claimant in respect of notice pay will be agreed between the parties or, alternatively, will be the subject of an assessment during the course of a future remedies hearing).
