Claimant v Xlog Logistics Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in respect of the period from 7 October 2024 to 24 October 2024, totalling £920 gross.
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken on the date the claimant's employment ended, awarding £108.
The tribunal found that when proceedings began the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars, with no exceptional circumstances making an award unjust or inequitable under section 38 Employment Act 2002.
Facts
The claimant worked for a logistics company until 24 October 2024. The respondent failed to pay wages for the period 7-24 October 2024 and did not pay accrued holiday pay on termination. The respondent also failed to provide a written statement of employment particulars. The respondent did not attend the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal upheld all claims, awarding £920 for unpaid wages, £108 for unpaid holiday pay, and £800 for failure to provide written employment particulars (two weeks' gross pay under s.38 Employment Act 2002), totalling £1,828.
Practical note
Employers who fail to attend tribunal hearings where claims are straightforward wage and holiday pay deductions face default judgments, and additional penalties apply for failure to provide written employment particulars.
