Claimant v New Kitchen Parkstone Limited

The respondent failed to enter a response. The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by paying only £466 when £1,027 was owed for delivery driving shifts (12 shifts x 5.5 hours x £13 = £858) and kitchen refurbishment work (13 x £13 = £169), leaving £561 unpaid.

The tribunal found the respondent breached contract by failing to reimburse mileage expenses of £270 owed to the claimant for use of his vehicle during employment.

The respondent breached contract by failing to pay notice pay. The claimant was entitled to one week's notice at his average weekly income of £143, which was not paid on termination.

The respondent failed to pay accrued holiday pay as required by the Working Time Regulations 1998. The claimant accrued 0.67 weeks of leave during his 6-week employment and took no leave, entitling him to £95.81 (0.67 x £143 weekly pay).

The respondent failed to provide written itemised pay statements as required by section 8 Employment Rights Act 1996 during the employment period from 28 May to 3 July 2024, breaching statutory obligations.

The respondent breached its duty under section 38 Employment Act 2002 to provide a written statement of employment particulars. The tribunal found it just and equitable to award four weeks' gross pay (£572) as compensation for this failure.
