Claimant v Bentley Fencing Limited

The respondent failed to pay the claimant wages for the period between 9 August and 30 August 2024. The tribunal found this constituted an unauthorised deduction from wages and awarded the claimant £1,680 in unpaid wages.

The respondent made an unauthorised deduction by failing to pay for 13 days of accrued but untaken holiday from 1 January 2024 to termination on 30 August 2024. The tribunal calculated this at £112 per day for a total of £1,456.

The respondent failed to provide the claimant with his statutory 12 weeks' notice. The tribunal awarded notice pay calculated as 12 weeks at £560 per week, totaling £6,720.

The claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment after 20 years of service. The tribunal calculated this as 20 years x 1.5 weeks x £560 per week, awarding £16,800 (corrected from the claimant's miscalculated figure of £18,660).
