Claimant v Henson Property Northumberland Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages on 28 March 2025, awarding the net sum of £934.82 that had been deducted.
The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken when employment ended, constituting an unauthorised deduction. The claimant was awarded £408.34 gross.
Facts
Mr Mullen brought claims against his former employer, Henson Property Northumberland Limited, for unauthorised deductions from wages and unpaid holiday pay. The respondent made a deduction of £934.82 from his wages on 28 March 2025. Additionally, the respondent failed to pay for accrued but untaken holiday when the claimant's employment ended on the same date.
Decision
The tribunal found both claims well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £934.82 for the unauthorised wage deduction (net amount) and £408.34 gross for unpaid holiday pay. The claimant is responsible for any tax or National Insurance on the holiday pay award.
Practical note
Employers must ensure final payments include both outstanding wages and accrued holiday pay, as both types of non-payment constitute unauthorised deductions under employment law.
