THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS

CASE REF:	1388/17

CLAIMANT:			Brian Gregory Barron

RESPONDENT:		Department for the Economy

DECISION 
(A)		Pursuant to Article 205 of the Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 (“ERO”), and for that purpose, I determine that, in December 2016, 
Mr Brendan Bannon became liable to make a redundancy payment of £2,265 to the claimant.
(B)	The claimant’s appeal in respect of holiday pay under Article 233 of ERO is not 
well-founded and it is accordingly dismissed.
(C)	The claimant’s appeal in respect of notice pay under Article 233 of ERO is 
well-founded and the Department ought to pay £623 to the claimant in respect of notice pay.

Constitution of Tribunal:
Employment Judge (sitting alone):	Employment Judge Buggy	
 		
Appearances:
The claimant was self-represented.
The Department was represented by Mr Neil Cruikshanks.
