Claimant v Just the Tipple Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The complaint of unpaid overtime was dismissed. The tribunal found that there was no unlawful deduction in respect of the claimed overtime pay.
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages by failing to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken on the date the claimant's employment ended.
Facts
The claimant brought claims for unpaid overtime and holiday pay following the end of his employment with the respondent company, Just the Tipple Ltd. The claimant was represented by a lay representative, while the respondent was represented by its director, Mr J Newman. The hearing took place remotely by video.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claim for unpaid overtime but upheld the claim for holiday pay. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction by failing to pay for accrued but untaken holidays on termination, awarding the claimant £2,525.48.
Practical note
Employers must ensure that accrued but untaken holiday pay is paid upon termination of employment, as failure to do so constitutes an unauthorised deduction from wages.
