Serene Residential Care Ltd (In Voluntary Liquidation)

Case Summary

The claimant was unfairly dismissed and entitled to statutory redundancy payment. The respondent failed to pay the claimant's full notice entitlement (3 weeks owed) and failed to pay accrued but untaken holiday. The tribunal awarded £18,624.33 comprising breach of contract damages, redundancy payment, holiday pay, and unfair dismissal compensation.

The claimant was unfairly dismissed by reason of redundancy. The respondent failed to provide the statutory minimum 4 weeks' notice (providing only 1 week), breached contract by failing to pay 3 weeks' notice pay, and failed to pay accrued holiday entitlement. The compensatory award was calculated based on immediate loss (34.5 weeks at £305.25 plus £500 for loss of statutory rights) and future loss (13 weeks expected unemployment at £305.25).
