Claimant v C&P Catering Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claimant's claim in respect of notice pay was not well-founded and dismissed this claim. The judgment does not provide detailed reasoning but indicates the claim did not succeed on its merits.
The tribunal found that the claimant's claim for unpaid holiday pay under the Working Time Regulations 1998 was well-founded and succeeded. The claimant had accrued 4 hours of annual leave during her employment which had not been paid.
Facts
Mrs A Reeves brought claims against C&P Catering Limited for unpaid notice pay and holiday pay. The claimant had worked for the respondent catering company for a brief period during which she accrued 4 hours of annual leave. The case was heard remotely via CVP video link with the claimant represented by her husband and the respondent represented by Croner employment consultants.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the notice pay claim as not well-founded. However, the tribunal found in favour of the claimant on her holiday pay claim under the Working Time Regulations 1998, awarding her £45.76 gross for 4 hours of accrued but unpaid annual leave.
Practical note
Even very short periods of employment create holiday pay entitlements that must be paid on termination, regardless of the outcome of other contractual claims.
