CLAIMANT:	Gareth Evitt

RESPONDENT:	Raymond Crawford, t/a Crawford Trim

DECISION

The claimant is entitled to receive a redundancy payment and notice pay of £5,998.95 as detailed below.

Constitution of Tribunal:

Chairman  (Sitting alone):	Mrs M Watson

Appearances:

The claimant presented his own case.

The respondent did not appear.

1.	The name of the respondent is amended to Raymond Crawford, t/a Crawford Trim to reflect the name on the employment contract.

2.	The claimant was employed as a Coach Trimmer with the respondent from 1 July 1995 until the date of termination 31 December 2011, a period of 16 years.

3.	The claimant is aged 33 years, and his entitlement under the Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 is calculated at 13½ weeks gross pay to reflect service where he was aged under 21 years of age.

	Entitlement is therefore:	(A)	£257.70  x  13.5	=	£3,478.95

4.	The claimant is also entitled to notice pay.  The statutory limit to notice pay is 12 weeks net pay.

	Entitlement is:	(B)	£210.00  x  12	=	£2,520.00

	Total entitlement is:	(A) + (B) above	=	£5,998.95

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