CASE REF:	1622/05

CLAIMANT:	Bill Thomas Maddox			

RESPONDENTS:	1.	Nigel Cousins t/a Mallusk Accident & Repair Centre	2.	Redundancy Payments Service			

DECISION

The decision of the tribunal is that the claimant be paid the sum of £88.00 in respect of outstanding wages.  The claims for redundancy payment and notice pay are dismissed.

Constitution of Tribunal:

Chairman (sitting alone):		Mr Davey

Appearances:

The claimant appeared in person.  

There was no appearance by or on behalf of the first respondent.

The second respondent was represented by Ms P Baird.

1.	Reasons

The claimant accepted that he had received redundancy pay and notice pay and accordingly those claims were dismissed.  He was not claiming any outstanding holiday pay.  He sought payment of outstanding wages in respect of the Thursday and Friday for the week prior to the termination of his contract of employment.  

2.	The claimant’s evidence was that he had not been paid for these two days and the tribunal accepted this evidence.  The claimant also sought payment for the Monday on which his contract had been terminated.  The contract had been terminated first thing and in these circumstances the tribunal considered that the contract of employment was not operative during the Monday.  The claimant’s evidence was that his net weekly pay was £220.00 per week or £44.00 per day

3.	The claimant is therefore entitled to two days pay at £44.00 per day or £88.00.

4.	Recoupment

No question of recoupment arises.

5.	Interest

This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.
