Constitution of Tribunal: Chairman (sitting alone): Mr D Buchanan Appearances: The claimant appeared in person and was not represented. The respondent company did not enter a response. 1. At the start of the hearing the name of the respondent was amended to that now shown, to reflect its name at the time it stopped trading. 2(i) The claimant worked for the respondent company from 21 March 2005 until 21 May 2010. She performed clerical and accounting duties. She was made redundant on the latter date when the company ceased trading, apparently because of financial difficulties. She therefore had five years completed service. (ii) She was aged 33 at the time of dismissal. (iii) Her pay was £92.80 per week. She was not earning enough to pay tax. (iv) The appropriate multiplier for calculating her redundancy pay is 5. (v) She is therefore entitled to £92.80 x 5 = £464.00. 3. I also find that the claimant is entitled to the following:- (i) Notice pay of £464.00 (5 x £92.80); and (ii) unpaid holiday pay amounting to £576.60. 4. Although the respondent did not enter a response, the sums set out at Paragraphs 2 and 3 are not in dispute. The claimant set them out in a grievance letter to the respondent company and its owner/director, Mr Ciaran Mulhern, subsequently had a conversation with her in which he told her he did not have the money to pay her. 5. This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.
