Constitution of Tribunal:
Chairman: Mr P Kinney
Members: Miss E Gilmartin
Mr J Foster
Appearances:
The claimant appeared in person and represented herself.

Facts
1. The claimant was employed by the respondent from 10 January 2011 until her employment ended on 9 March 2011.
2. At the date of termination of the employment the claimant’s gross weekly wage was £361.73 and her net weekly wage was £249.05.
3. The claimant’s employment ceased when s/he dismissed with immediate effect. No dismissal procedure whatsoever was followed by the respondent. The respondent has ceased trading but has not become insolvent within the terms of the Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996.

5. After hearing the evidence of the claimant, the tribunal is satisfied her claims are well-founded. The tribunal makes the following awards:-
(a) Unpaid wages
The claimant is entitled to 2.6 weeks’ wages. This is based on net wages. The claimant is therefore entitled to £647.53.
(b) Holiday pay
The claimant is entitled to four days’ holiday pay. This is based on her net weekly wage. The claimant is entitled to £199.24.
(c) Notice pay
The claimant is entitled to one week’s notice pay based on her net weekly wage. The claimant is therefore entitled to £249.05.
(d) Expenses
The claimant is entitled to £25.00 reimbursement of expenses properly incurred by her.
