Individual claims

Unlawful Deduction from Wagessucceeded

The tribunal found that the respondent had failed to provide the claimant with any payslips during her employment period from 21 June 2024 to 27 September 2024, which is a breach of the employer's statutory duty under the Employment Rights Act 1996 s.8. The tribunal made a declaration to that effect.

Facts

The claimant was employed by the respondent from 21 June 2024 to 27 September 2024. During this period, the respondent failed to provide the claimant with any payslips as required by law. The claimant brought a claim for breach of this statutory duty.

Decision

The tribunal found in favour of the claimant and made a declaration that she had not been provided with any payslips during her employment. This was a clear breach of the employer's statutory obligation under section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

Practical note

Employers must provide payslips to all employees as a basic statutory duty, and failure to do so can result in a declaration from the tribunal.
