Facts
Mr Bower brought claims against his former employer Maris Logistics Ltd relating to wages, notice pay, holiday pay, mileage expenses, and failure to provide itemised pay statements and employment particulars. He was employed from May 2023 to December 2024 with a weekly gross pay of £1067.30. The respondent also brought an employer contract claim which was withdrawn.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on notice pay (one week's pay of £1067.30) and holiday pay (two days' pay of £426.92), and found the respondent failed to provide itemised pay statements. Claims for wage deductions, mileage expenses, and failure to provide employment particulars were dismissed. The redundancy pay claim was withdrawn.
