Claimant v Legacie Contracts Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant's claim for unlawful deduction from wages in respect of unpaid statutory sick pay was withdrawn by the claimant during the hearing.
The tribunal found the claim for unlawful deduction from wages in respect of unpaid wages and holiday pay to be ill-founded, meaning the claimant failed to establish that the respondent had unlawfully deducted wages or failed to pay holiday pay owed.
Facts
Mr War brought claims for unlawful deduction from wages against Legacie Contracts Ltd relating to unpaid statutory sick pay, unpaid wages, and holiday pay. The hearing was conducted remotely via CVP before Employment Judge L Cowen sitting alone. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by Ms J McMahon, Head of HR.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claim for unpaid statutory sick pay upon the claimant's withdrawal. The claims for unpaid wages and holiday pay were dismissed as ill-founded, meaning the tribunal found they had no merit and the claimant had not established any unlawful deduction.
Practical note
A finding that a wages claim is 'ill-founded' means the tribunal concluded the employer had properly paid all wages and holiday pay owed, with no unlawful deduction established.
