Claimant v Vale Cleaning Services Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was not well-founded. The claimant failed to establish that the respondent had made unlawful deductions from his wages contrary to the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The tribunal found the complaint of constructive unfair dismissal was not well-founded. The claimant failed to establish that the respondent had committed a fundamental breach of contract that entitled him to resign and treat himself as dismissed.
Facts
Mr Iruagha brought claims against Vale Cleaning Services Limited for unauthorised deductions from wages and constructive unfair dismissal. The case was heard over two days in Cardiff with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by Mr J Vines. The judgment was reserved and delivered with oral reasons given at the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed both claims brought by Mr Iruagha. The tribunal found that the complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages and constructive unfair dismissal were not well-founded. No awards were made in favour of the claimant.
Practical note
Both the wages claim and constructive dismissal claim failed, resulting in complete dismissal of the claimant's case against the cleaning services employer.
