THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS

CASE REF:  7721/19

CLAIMANT:                          Kathryn McGourty

RESPONDENTS:               1.         APG Supplies & Services

                                                2.         Peter Gallagher

DEFAULT JUDGEMENT

Employment Judge:                                  Employment Judge Ó Murray

1.         The time for presenting a response having expired, the tribunal declares that the following complaints are well-founded:-

            (i)         failure to make a redundancy payment;

            (ii)        breach of contract (notice pay).

2.         I therefore order as follows:-

            (i)         The claimant is entitled to a redundancy payment calculated as follows:-

                        On the termination of her employment she had three full years of completed service and was aged 55.  Her gross pay was £187.92 per week.

                        The appropriate multiplier for calculating her redundancy payment is 4.5.

                        Her entitlement is therefore:-

                                    £187.92 x 4.5 = £845.64.

            (ii)        The claimant by virtue of her service is entitled to three weeks’ notice pay at £186.40 net per week.  The claimant received one week’s notice pay.  I therefore order that the respondent do pay the sum of £372.80 in respect of outstanding notice pay.

3.         This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.
