Claimant v Sasora Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant's claim relating to payslips was withdrawn by the claimant and dismissed on withdrawal.
The respondent consented to judgment for the claimant on her holiday pay claim. The tribunal ordered payment of £667.00 in outstanding holiday pay by consent of both parties.
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on her claim that the respondent breached s.1(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 by failing to provide a written statement of particulars of employment. The claimant was awarded 3 weeks' wages as a remedy.
Facts
Ms. Lima brought claims against Sasora Ltd relating to payslips, holiday pay, and failure to provide written particulars of employment. She was paid £172.50 per week. The respondent was represented by counsel while the claimant represented herself. The respondent made a costs application against the claimant.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the payslips claim on withdrawal. By consent, the tribunal awarded the claimant £667.00 in outstanding holiday pay. The tribunal found the respondent breached s.1(1) ERA 1996 by failing to provide written particulars and awarded 3 weeks' wages (£517.50). The respondent's costs application was dismissed.
Practical note
Employers who fail to provide written particulars of employment under s.1(1) ERA 1996 face financial penalties, and costs applications against unrepresented claimants who succeed on substantive claims are unlikely to succeed.
