Claimant v Innovate Leisure Ltd

The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal complaint as it did not have jurisdiction to hear it. This suggests the claimant did not have the requisite qualifying service or there was another jurisdictional bar.

The tribunal found the complaint of protected disclosure (whistleblowing) detriment was not well-founded and dismissed it. The tribunal was not satisfied that the claimant had made protected disclosures or suffered detriment as a result.

The tribunal found the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's basic wages, short-paying him £100 per week for 91 weeks, totalling £9,100. The claimant succeeded in proving he was not paid his contractual wages.

The tribunal found the respondent breached contract by failing to pay bonus sums owed (£50 for every £1,000 over £5,000 weekly takings). The claimant was entitled to £8,550 in unpaid bonuses during his employment.

The tribunal found the respondent failed to pay statutory holiday entitlement, comprising 4 weeks carried over from 2022/23 plus 4.2 weeks pro rata for 2023/24 less 1 week taken, awarding £3,240.
