Mrs F Cooke v B & K Corporate Catering Limited (in voluntary creditors liquidation) — 2019

The tribunal, sitting under Rule 21, determined the claim on the papers and made three monetary awards in favour of Mrs F Cooke. It found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages for the period 1 to 14 February 2019 and ordered repayment of the gross sum of £250.50, described as 10 days' pay at £25.05 per day.

It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. The tribunal awarded £250.50 in damages, calculated by reference to two weeks' contractual notice at £125.28 per week, and noted that the claimant had not secured alternative employment during the notice period.

Finally, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered £100.20 for 4 days' annual leave at £25.05 per day. The judgment notice records that interest may become payable under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 if the sums remain unpaid after 14 days, but no separate interest figure is set out in the judgment itself.
