Mr Beloziorovas was employed by Rotav Ltd and worked until at least March 2025. He was not provided with a written contract of employment. In March 2025, he was underpaid by £297.00. Between January and March 2025, he accrued holiday pay which was not paid, totalling £1,009.40. The Claimant brought claims for unpaid wages, unpaid holiday pay, and for the failure to provide written particulars of employment.

Decision

The tribunal found in favour of the Claimant on all claims. The Respondent was ordered to pay £297.00 for the wage shortfall in March 2025, £1,009.40 for unpaid holiday pay, and £2,800.00 (4 weeks' pay at the statutory cap of £700 per week) for failing to provide a written contract, totalling £4,106.40.

Practical note

Employers must provide written contracts and pay all wages and holiday pay due; failure to do so will result in financial penalties including awards under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002.
