Facts
Miss Davies brought claims against her former employer, Rase Veterinary Centre, for unpaid wages and accrued holiday pay. The claimant claimed she was owed one week's wages and two days of accrued but unpaid holiday. The respondent was represented by two internal representatives at a remote video hearing.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on both claims. The respondent was ordered to pay £1,538.88 in unpaid wages representing one week's pay, and £439.68 in unpaid holiday pay representing two days of accrued entitlement, for a total award of £1,978.56 gross.
Practical note
Employers in the veterinary sector must ensure full and timely payment of final wages and accrued holiday pay to departing employees to avoid successful wage deduction and holiday pay claims.
