Claimant v Sixty Degrees Midlands Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the Respondent failed to pay accrued but untaken holiday pay owed on termination of employment, in breach of Regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998. The claim was well founded and succeeded.
Facts
Mr Baker was employed by Sixty Degrees Midlands Limited and his employment terminated. Upon termination, he was not paid for accrued but untaken holiday. The Respondent also failed to provide him with a written statement of employment particulars as required by law. He brought a claim for unpaid holiday pay and for breach of the requirement to provide written particulars.
Decision
The tribunal found both claims well founded. The Respondent was ordered to pay £18.70 in unpaid holiday pay and £403.55 (representing two weeks' pay) as a penalty for failing to provide written employment particulars under the Employment Act 2002.
Practical note
Employers must pay all accrued holiday pay on termination and provide written statements of employment particulars, with failure to do the latter resulting in a mandatory award of between two and four weeks' pay.
