Claimant v Mabey Hire Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from pay in relation to holiday pay was not well-founded. The claim did not succeed on the merits.
The tribunal found that the complaint of breach of contract concerning notice pay was not well-founded. The claimant failed to establish the respondent breached the contract of employment in relation to notice pay.
Facts
Mr Beckles brought claims against his former employer Mabey Hire Ltd for unauthorised deductions from wages in relation to holiday pay and breach of contract concerning notice pay. The hearing was conducted remotely via CVP at Leeds Employment Tribunal. Mr Beckles was represented by a lay representative, Mr Josephs, while the respondent was represented by their HR Director, Ms Edwards.
Decision
The tribunal found both claims were not well-founded and dismissed them. The claimant failed to establish that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from his wages in relation to holiday pay or breached his contract of employment regarding notice pay.
Practical note
A claimant must establish both that deductions were made and that they were unauthorised, and in breach of contract claims must prove the contractual obligation existed and was breached.
