Claimant v Accountants Etc Ltd

The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the period 24 June 2024 to 2 August 2024 in the amount of £1617.78 gross. The respondent did not attend to defend the claim and the tribunal found the complaint well-founded.

The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay the claimant notice pay she was entitled to upon termination of employment. The claimant was entitled to one week's notice pay calculated at £539.26 gross and the complaint of breach of contract was well-founded.

The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken on the date the claimant's employment ended. The sum owed was £337.03 and the complaint was well-founded.

The tribunal found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. The respondent did not attend to provide evidence of a fair reason for dismissal or that they followed a fair procedure. The complaint was well-founded and the tribunal made no deduction for contributory fault or blameworthy conduct.

The tribunal found that when proceedings were begun, the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars under s.1 Employment Rights Act 1996. There were no exceptional circumstances making an award unjust and it was just and equitable to award four weeks' gross pay.
