Following a hearing by video (‘CVP’) at which the Respondent was not in attendance and for which the respondent had not entered a response (ET3), I find the following: 2. The complaint of constructive unfair dismissal is well-founded. The claimant was unfairly dismissed. 3. The respondent shall pay the claimant the following sums: (a) A basic award of £2,157. (b) A compensatory award of £15,760.48 for the period 21.12.2024 to 30.06.2025 (consisting loss of earnings of £14,629.61, loss of employer pension contributions of £690.90, loss of statutory rights of £350 and expenses of £89.97). (c) Please note that these are the actual sums payable to the claimant after any deductions or uplifts have been applied. 4. The complaint of breach of contract is well-founded. The claimant is owed bonus payments for the period June 2022 to December 2022. 5. The claimant is owed the sum of £28,687.50 in bonus payments by the respondent. This figure represents the gross sum owing to the claimant. The Employment Tribunal is limited to awarding a maximum of £25,000 for a breach of contract claim. The claimant is therefore awarded the gross sum of £25,000 for breach of contract, payable by the respondent.
