Claimant v Little Robins Nursery & Preschool Limited

The tribunal found that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages totalling £339.05 in the period April to May 2024. The respondent did not attend to defend the claim and the tribunal was satisfied the deductions were unauthorised.

The tribunal found the respondent breached the claimant's contract by failing to pay notice pay. The claimant was awarded £429 representing damages for this breach, calculated on a gross basis as post-employment notice pay.

The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay the claimant £199.91 for holidays accrued but not taken when employment ended. This was an unlawful failure to pay accrued holiday entitlement.

The tribunal found the respondent failed to provide written itemised pay statements as required by section 8 Employment Rights Act 1996 during April to May 2024. Under section 12(4) ERA 1996, an additional award of £339.05 was made in respect of the unnotified deductions.
