Buda v Ian Shannon [2009] NIIT 4631_09IT (28 September 2009)

The claimant resigned by letter, which was accepted by the respondent, and no new contract was entered into. Therefore, there was no dismissal and no entitlement to redundancy or notice pay. The claimant had taken all holiday entitlement for the relevant period, so no holiday pay was due. Outstanding wages for the final week were not properly paid in kind, so the claimant is entitled to one week's wages.
