Claimant v Fastmove Lettings Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the respondent was in breach of contract. The claimant was awarded damages of £864.00, indicating the respondent failed to meet contractual obligations upon or during employment.
The tribunal determined that accrued holiday pay was due at the termination of employment and had not been paid. The claimant was awarded £576.00 gross for this unpaid entitlement.
The tribunal found that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from wages in July and August 2024. However, the respondent rectified these deductions before the hearing, so no financial order was made despite the claim succeeding on liability.
The claimant was not provided with itemised payslips during employment as required by law. The tribunal found this claim well-founded but made no order as the underlying wage deductions had already been rectified.
Facts
Ms Hejmanowska was employed by Fastmove Lettings Limited, a property lettings company. Her employment terminated and she brought claims for breach of contract, unpaid holiday pay, unauthorised wage deductions in July and August 2024, and failure to provide itemised payslips. The respondent had rectified the wage deductions prior to the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal upheld all of the claimant's claims. It awarded £864 for breach of contract and £576 gross for accrued holiday pay at termination. While the tribunal found unauthorised deductions and failure to provide payslips were proven, no additional remedy was ordered as the deductions had been repaid.
Practical note
Employers in the lettings sector must ensure compliance with basic statutory obligations including provision of payslips and payment of holiday pay on termination, even where wage deduction issues are later rectified.
