The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay the claimant in lieu of accrued but untaken annual leave on termination of employment, amounting to £876.00 gross.
Facts
Ms Jedrzejewska was employed by Trendz Catering Limited. The respondent failed to pay her the full amount of wages she was owed during her employment, resulting in unauthorised deductions totalling £756.00. Upon termination of her employment, the respondent also failed to pay her for accrued but untaken annual leave, amounting to £876.00. The respondent did not attend the tribunal hearing to contest the claims.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on both claims for unauthorised deductions from wages. The respondent was ordered to pay £756.00 for unpaid wages and £876.00 for unpaid holiday pay, totalling £1,632.00 gross.
Practical note
Employers must ensure full and timely payment of wages and holiday pay entitlements, as non-attendance at tribunal hearings will not prevent judgment being entered against them on valid claims.
