Claimant v Lainston Partners Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages during two periods: 1-17 May 2024 and 10 October to 6 November 2024. The claimant succeeded in proving he was not paid wages properly due to him.
The tribunal found the respondent failed to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken when his employment ended on 6 November 2024, constituting an unauthorised deduction from wages.
Facts
The claimant worked for Lainston Partners Limited until 6 November 2024. He was not paid his wages for two periods: 1-17 May 2024 and 10 October to 6 November 2024. When his employment ended, he was also not paid for accrued but untaken holiday. The total amount owed was calculated as £15,371.91, with the claimant accepting a £900 credit was due to the respondent.
Decision
The tribunal found both complaints of unauthorised deduction from wages well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £14,471.91 gross (the total owed minus the £900 credit). The claimant is responsible for any tax or National Insurance on this sum.
Practical note
Employers must pay wages when due and pay for accrued untaken holiday on termination; failure to do so constitutes an unlawful deduction from wages under the Employment Rights Act 1996.
