Ms TJ Mattis v Kids 1st Steps Ltd — 2025

Employment Judge KM Ross, sitting alone at Manchester (by CVP) on 8 January 2025, heard the claimant Ms TJ Mattis in person and the respondent Kids 1st Steps Ltd through its director Ms E Baxendale. The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages to be well-founded, on the basis that the respondent failed to pay the claimant her wages in the period of November 2023, and ordered payment of £1,708.76 representing one month's net wages.

The tribunal also found the complaint in respect of holiday pay to be well-founded, on the basis that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant for 8 days of holiday accrued but not taken as at the date her employment ended. The tribunal ordered payment of £800, calculated as 8 days at a £100 daily rate (gross).

The total sum of £2,508.76 was ordered to be paid by the respondent to the claimant within 14 days of the date of the judgment. Reasons were given orally at the hearing; no written reasons were provided in the document. A standard notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 was attached, indicating interest at 8% per annum would accrue from 11 January 2025 if the sum was not paid in full within 14 days of the decision being sent on 10 January 2025.
