Claimant v Custom Climates 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 holidays accrued but not taken on the date the Claimant's employment ended. The claim for unpaid accrued holiday was therefore well-founded.
The tribunal found that the Respondent did provide the Claimant with a written statement of employment particulars as required. The complaint was therefore not well-founded and was dismissed.
Facts
Mr Stange brought claims against Custom Climates Limited for unpaid holiday pay and failure to provide written employment particulars. The employment had ended and the Claimant alleged he had not been paid for accrued but untaken holiday. The Respondent disputed the claims and was represented by a company director.
Decision
The tribunal upheld the holiday pay claim, finding that the Respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay for accrued untaken holiday at termination, awarding £413.44. However, the claim regarding written particulars failed as the tribunal found the Respondent had provided the required statement.
Practical note
Employers must ensure payment for all accrued but untaken holiday entitlement upon termination of employment to avoid unlawful deduction from wages claims.
