Claimant v Consult Group Limited

Dismissed due to insufficient qualifying service under Section 108 ERA 1996. All claimants had less than two years' continuous service required for unfair dismissal claims.

Tribunal found that claimants experienced unlawful deductions including non-payment for additional hours worked, decreased pay without notice, reduction in hourly rates, and failure to pay agreed supervisor rate. These deductions were not authorized by statute, contract, or written agreement.

Claims for Ms Hughes (£289.51) and Mr Tilley-Hughes (£91.20) succeeded as their employment had terminated. Mrs Tapsell's claim dismissed as she remained employed and Regulation 14 Working Time Regulations 1998 only provides for payment in lieu upon termination.

Ms Hughes awarded £44.20 for bank holiday working on 26 December 2023 and 1 January 2024. Tribunal found workers should not be financially disadvantaged by public holiday arrangements.

Failure to provide payslips in breach of s.8 ERA 1996. All claimants either did not receive payslips at all or received inadequate payslips. Two weeks' pay awarded to each claimant as established proportionate remedy.

Failure to provide written particulars of employment in breach of s.1 ERA 1996. Claimants not provided with employee handbooks despite references to these forming part of employment contracts. Two weeks' pay awarded under s.38 Employment Act 2002.
