Claimant v Joint Pub Ventures Ltd

The complaint of unfair dismissal was dismissed on withdrawal by the claimant under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2024.

The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in respect of hours actually worked. The claimant was entitled to £3,206.04 but was only paid £1,498.50, resulting in an unlawful deduction of £1,707.54.

The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in respect of SSP entitlement for 8 August 2024, amounting to £23.25.

The claimant failed to demonstrate an entitlement to be paid for weeks in which there was no work, or for tronc payments. SSP was not payable for other days of sickness because the qualifying criteria were not met.

The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. The respondent was ordered to pay damages of £2,307.69 for failure to provide proper notice.

The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered the respondent to pay £989.01 in unpaid holiday pay.
