Claimant v Bentley Fencing Limited

The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay the claimant for the period 9 August to 30 August 2024. This was upheld in a default judgment issued under rule 22 on 14 March 2025.

The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction by failing to pay the claimant for 11 days of accrued but untaken holiday from the start of the holiday year on 1 January 2024 to the termination date of 30 August 2024.

The tribunal found that the respondent failed to provide the claimant with 12 weeks' statutory notice pay, constituting a breach of contract. The claimant was awarded gross notice pay calculated at 12 weeks multiplied by his weekly wage of £658.

The tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment based on 3 years of service at 0.5 weeks' pay per year, calculated using the statutory maximum weekly wage of £589.
