Automated Summary
Key Facts
The claimant, Miss J Tate, successfully pursued multiple claims against Qarbon Capital Limited. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £2880 in statutory redundancy pay (calculated as 1.5 week's gross pay of £480 multiplied by 4), £1731.73 for combined unpaid statutory notice pay, unlawful wage deductions, and accrued holiday pay, and £280 for breach of contract regarding unpaid expenses. The respondent did not appear at the hearing, and the judgment was delivered by Employment Judge Moss on 27 January 2025 in Newcastle. The amounts are undisputed and supported by documentary evidence, though allocation across specific claims was complicated by prior payments and pay rate uncertainties.
