Claimant v Churchills Management Ltd t/a the Armoury
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages in contravention of section 13 Employment Rights Act 1996. The respondent was ordered to pay £598.88 gross representing the unlawfully deducted wages.
The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay accrued holiday pay on termination of employment in breach of regulation 14 Working Time Regulations 1998. The respondent was ordered to pay £44.62 gross representing the unpaid holiday entitlement.
Facts
Mrs Reeves brought claims against her former employer Churchills Management Ltd (trading as The Armoury) for unauthorised deductions from wages and failure to pay holiday pay on termination. The claimant was represented by her husband as a lay representative while the respondent was represented by its director. The hearing was conducted remotely by video.
Decision
The tribunal found both claims well-founded and succeeded. The respondent was ordered to pay £598.88 for unlawful wage deductions under section 13 ERA 1996 and £44.62 for unpaid holiday pay under regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998, totalling £643.50 gross.
Practical note
Employers must ensure full payment of wages and accrued holiday pay on termination, as failure to do so will result in tribunal orders for payment of the amounts owed.
