Claimant v IF Finishes North West LTD

The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages by failing to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken on the date the claimant's employment ended. The respondent was ordered to pay £1,076.92 for accrued but untaken holiday pay.

The tribunal found the respondent failed to give the claimant written itemised pay statements as required by section 8 Employment Rights Act 1996 in the period from 1 July 2024 to 16 August 2024. The respondent made unnotified deductions totalling £2,215.04 from the claimant's pay in the 13 weeks prior to presentation of the claim form.

The tribunal found that when the proceedings were begun the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars under section 38 Employment Act 2002. There were no exceptional circumstances that would make an award unjust or inequitable, and the tribunal awarded the equivalent of two weeks' gross pay (£1,400).
