REASONS

 

1. I announced my decision at the end of the hearing.  At the same time, I gave brief oral reasons for that decision.

 

2.     I am satisfied that it was not reasonably practicable for the claimant to present her wages, holiday pay and notice pay claims within the relevant primary time-limit and that those claims were presented within a further period which I consider to be reasonable.

 

3. The redundancy pay decision is based on the following information:

 

Gross weekly pay: £ 470 (deemed)

 

Number of actual completed years of service: 7

 

Age on date of dismissal: 39

 

Multiplier (for redundancy pay): 7

 

4.     The claimant was granted leave to amend her claim form so as to include a redundancy pay claim.

 

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