Claimant v Leaving Care Solutions Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that from 28 January 2024 to termination on 9 August 2024, there were no unauthorised deductions of wages. Claims for periods prior to 28 January 2024 were struck out as out of time, with the tribunal finding it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have brought them in time.
The tribunal found that holiday pay was correctly paid for the period 28 January 2024 to termination on 9 August 2024. Claims for periods prior to 28 January 2024 were struck out as out of time, with the tribunal finding it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have brought them in time.
Facts
Mr Purrier brought claims for unauthorised deduction of wages and unpaid holiday pay against his former employer, Leaving Care Solutions Limited. His employment ended on 9 August 2024. The claims related to alleged deductions throughout his employment, including periods both before and after 28 January 2024 (the pay date for December 2023).
Decision
The tribunal dismissed all claims. For the period from 28 January 2024 to termination, the tribunal found wages and holiday pay were correctly paid. For earlier periods, the tribunal found the claims were out of time and it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have brought them in time, meaning the tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear them.
Practical note
Unrepresented claimants must be aware of strict time limits for wage deduction claims and cannot rely on extending time if it was reasonably practicable to claim earlier.
