Claimant v Kids 1st Steps Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay the claimant her wages for November 2023. This constituted an unauthorised deduction from wages.
The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay the claimant for 8 days of accrued but untaken holiday upon termination of employment. This constituted an unauthorised deduction from wages.
Facts
The claimant worked for the respondent, a childcare provider. Her employment ended in November 2023. The respondent failed to pay her wages for November 2023 (one month's wages) and also failed to pay her for 8 days of accrued but untaken holiday entitlement upon termination. The claimant brought claims for unauthorised deductions from wages and unpaid holiday pay.
Decision
The tribunal found both claims well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £1,708.76 for unpaid November wages (net) and £800 for unpaid holiday pay (8 days at £100 per day gross), totalling £2,508.76.
Practical note
Employers must pay all wages owed including final month's salary and accrued untaken holiday pay on termination, or face successful tribunal claims for unauthorised deductions.
