Miss G Maddison v GIG Hospitality Limited — 2025

Employment Judge Arullendran heard the case by CVP on 30 April 2025. The claimant was represented by her mother; the respondent did not attend. The Tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded, holding that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the period June to October 2024, and ordered the respondent to pay the claimant the gross sum deducted of £1,069.21, with the claimant responsible for any tax or national insurance.

The Tribunal further found that when proceedings were begun the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars. The Judge concluded there were no exceptional circumstances making an award of two weeks' gross pay unjust or inequitable, and that it was just and equitable to make an award equivalent to four weeks' gross pay under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002, amounting to £732.72.

The total award was £1,801.93. Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons were not requested, so none were provided.
