This has been a remote hearing which has been not objected to by the parties. The form of remote hearing was A - audio with the Employment Tribunal clerk physically in the hearing centre. 2. A face to face hearing was not held because it was not practicable and all issues could be determined on paper following additional enquiries from the claimants at the hearing which did not require evidence. 3. The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy on 27 September 2019. He is therefore entitled to a statutory redundancy payment, calculated at 2 years x ½ x £128.43, i.e. £128.43. 4. In breach of contract, the respondent failed to give the claimant notice of the termination of his employment or make a payment in lieu thereof.

In breach of Regulation 14(2) of the Working Time Regulations 1998, the respondent failed to pay the claimant a sum in lieu of 44.7 hours’ holiday that he had accrued but not taken by the date on which his employment terminated. It is ordered to pay him the sum of £308.43 in this regard. Case Number: 1600398 / 2020 (A) 2 6. The total amount the respondent must pay to the claimant is therefore £928.28.
