Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs M McEleavey brought claims against Mrs Laura Hallford t/a Vitality Beauty Salon for unauthorised deduction of wages, holiday pay, breach of contract and a section 38 Employment Act 2002 award. Employment Judge Moxon sat alone at Leeds via CVP on 30 November 2022.
The tribunal dismissed the claim for unauthorised deduction of wages relating to four hours on 18 January 2022 and dismissed the claim for accrued and unpaid holiday. Those claims were found not well founded.
The tribunal upheld the claim for unauthorised deduction of wages for 1.25 hours overtime taken and ordered the respondent to pay £11.13 gross. It also upheld the breach of contract claim for failure to pay adequate notice pay and ordered payment of £68.67 gross.
The tribunal made an additional award of £313.92 gross pursuant to section 38 Employment Act 2002 because the claimant had not been provided with a written statement of employment particulars. The judgment states that the respondent shall pay the claimant £394.02 within 14 days, although the listed component amounts total £393.72.
