Facts
The claimant Ms Wright brought claims against her former employer EIB Landscaping Ltd for unpaid wages, holiday pay, notice pay, pension contributions, unfair dismissal and disability discrimination. She worked for the respondent landscaping company until her employment ended. The respondent failed to pay her for days worked and accrued but untaken holiday pay at termination, and also failed to pay notice pay. The claimant withdrew her unfair dismissal and disability discrimination claims, and withdrew her pension contributions claim to pursue through the Pension Regulator.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on her claims for unauthorised deductions from wages (unpaid wages and holiday pay totalling £672) and breach of contract for failure to pay notice pay (£480 gross). The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal, disability discrimination and pension contribution claims upon withdrawal by the claimant. Total award was £1,152.
Practical note
Employers must pay all wages, accrued holiday pay and contractual notice pay on termination of employment, regardless of the circumstances of departure.
