1. Miss O Job 2. Mr A Flynn 3. Mr A Georgiou 4. Mrs I Didkovska 5. Mrs J Decaro v Theobalds Park Op Co Limited (in administration) and 1 other — 2025

The tribunal found that each of the five claimants was an employee of the first respondent, Theobalds Park Op Co Limited (in administration), within the meaning of s.230(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, or alternatively a worker within s.230(3)(b) ERA 1996. The first respondent did not attend the hearing and each claimant appeared in person before Employment Judge J Connolly at Watford on 22 and 23 May 2025.

Each complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages in respect of the period 16 October 2023 to 19 November 2023 was well-founded, and the first respondent was ordered to pay the gross sums deducted to each claimant. Holiday pay complaints under regulations 14(2) and/or 16(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998 were well-founded in respect of Miss Job, Mr Georgiou and Mrs Decaro. Breach of contract claims for one week's notice pay were well-founded in respect of Miss Job and Mr Georgiou, calculated on gross pay to reflect Post Employment Notice Pay.

Mrs Didkovska's complaint that the first respondent had failed to pay her a redundancy payment was struck out on the ground that she accepted she had not been employed for two years or more prior to termination, as required by s.155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal recorded that the Recoupment Regulations do not apply. Reasons were given orally at the hearing; written reasons would only be provided on request.
