Claimant v Vista Living Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was not well-founded and dismissed the claim. No reasons are provided in the judgment for why this claim failed.
The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken on the date employment ended. The claimant succeeded in establishing that holiday pay was owed and not paid.
Facts
Mr Quinn brought claims against Vista Living Limited for notice pay and holiday pay following the termination of his employment. The hearing was conducted remotely by video. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by a litigation consultant.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's claim for notice pay, finding it not well-founded. However, the tribunal upheld the claim for holiday pay, finding the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay for accrued but untaken holiday at termination, and awarded £312.50.
Practical note
Employers must ensure they pay all accrued but untaken holiday pay on termination even where notice pay claims may fail on their merits.
