Claimant v Cambridge Care Company Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages by failing to pay the claimant for four days' holidays accrued but not taken on the date the claimant's employment ended.
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the period 16th December 2024 to 3rd January 2025 inclusive, being a total of 15 days' pay which the claimant was entitled to receive.
Facts
The claimant's employment with Cambridge Care Company Limited ended on 3rd January 2025. The respondent failed to pay the claimant for 15 days' work between 16th December 2024 and 3rd January 2025, and also failed to pay for four days' accrued but untaken holiday on termination. The respondent was late in submitting its ET3 response, applying for an extension to 19th June 2025.
Decision
The tribunal granted the respondent's application to extend time for its ET3 response. The tribunal found both the unpaid holiday pay and unauthorised deductions from wages claims well-founded, upholding the claimant's complaints that the respondent had made unlawful deductions. Remedy will be determined at a separate hearing in April 2026.
Practical note
Employers must ensure that final wages and accrued holiday pay are paid on termination of employment, or face liability for unauthorised deduction of wages claims.
