Claimant v NP Integrated Technology Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the claimant's complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages to be well-founded. The respondent failed to pay the claimant for 24.5 hours of overtime worked, amounting to a gross sum of £293.02.
The tribunal found that when proceedings were begun, the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002. The tribunal awarded an additional penalty payment for this breach.
Facts
The claimant, P Gregory, worked for NP Integrated Technology Ltd and was not provided with a written statement of employment particulars. The claimant worked 24.5 hours of overtime for which he was not paid. The claimant brought claims for unlawful deduction of wages and sought a remedy for the respondent's failure to provide written employment particulars.
Decision
The tribunal found both claims well-founded. It ordered the respondent to pay £293.02 for unpaid overtime and an additional £1,076.92 as a penalty for failing to provide written employment particulars under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002, for a total award of £1,369.94.
Practical note
Employers who fail to provide written statements of employment particulars face mandatory penalty awards in addition to any substantive claims, even in relatively small wage disputes.
