Case Summary

The claimant was summarily dismissed on 25 January 2024 after 2 years of employment without notice or payment. The tribunal found unfair dismissal and awarded compensatory damages including unpaid wages, bonus, notice pay, holiday pay, and unlawful pension deductions. The respondent company was in voluntary liquidation and did not attend the hearing.

Why this outcome?

The tribunal found the claimant was summarily dismissed without notice despite being contractually entitled to one month of notice, and had earned 2 years of qualifying service for unfair dismissal protection. The respondent failed to pay the claimant's notice pay, accrued wages, bonus, holiday entitlement, and unlawfully deducted pension contributions without paying them to the pension scheme.
