in person For the v Ms J Charalambous, consultant — 2021

The tribunal heard the case by video in Bristol on 26 November 2021, with Employment Judge A Richardson sitting alone. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by Ms J Charalambous, consultant. The tribunal decided three monetary claims: holiday pay, notice pay, and unlawful deduction from wages.

The holiday pay claim was held well founded. The appendix said the calculation was made under Regulation 14 WTR 1998 at a day rate of £76.92. On the figures given, 191 days ÷ 365 x 28 produced 14.65 days, rounded up to 15 days entitlement, from which three days leave taken were deducted, leaving 12 days payable at £76.92, producing £923.04.

The notice pay claim was also held well founded. The appendix recorded that 7 days' notice was required, 3 days' notice had been paid by the respondent, and there was a shortfall of 2 days. At £76.92 per day, that element was assessed at £153.84. The unlawful deduction from wages claim was found well founded at £6.84, which the appendix said had been conceded by the respondent.

The written judgment ordered the respondent to pay £1,083.74, although the appendix arithmetic set out a total of £1,083.72 from the three figures above. The record does not explain that small discrepancy, so the bottom-line figure is recorded as stated in the judgment while the component figures are taken from the appendix.
