Mrs A Tracey v Cedar Tree Pads Ltd — 2025

Employment Judge Shotter, sitting alone at Liverpool (by CVP) on 5 December 2025, heard the case in the claimant's absence; the respondent was represented by Mr Chaya, owner director. The Tribunal found the holiday pay complaint well-founded, holding that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant in accordance with regulation 14(2) and/or 16(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998, and ordered payment of £91.98 net (2.5 days at £36.79 per day net).

The Tribunal further found that at the commencement of proceedings the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars. Finding no exceptional circumstances making the minimum two-week award unjust or inequitable, the Tribunal considered it just and equitable to award four weeks' gross pay, and accordingly ordered the respondent to pay £1,128.80 gross under section 38 Employment Act 2002. Payment is to be made within 28 days on provision of bank details.

The complaints of disability discrimination and wrongful dismissal (notice pay) were dismissed on withdrawal. Written reasons were not provided with the judgment, as oral reasons were given at the hearing.
