Mr G J Williams v Heck Leisure Limited — 2025

Employment Judge Woodhead heard the case by CVP from the Bristol Employment Tribunal on 10 November 2024. The Claimant, Mr G J Williams, appeared in person; the Respondent, Heck Leisure Limited, did not attend. On the date of the hearing the Respondent had paid the Claimant £508.92 net (referred to in the judgment as the 10 December 2024 payment).

The Tribunal ordered the Respondent to pay such further amounts as were necessary, taking the 10 December 2024 payment into account, so that the Claimant received £12.37 net for unlawful deductions from wages for the period ending 25 December 2023, £966.89 gross for accrued but untaken holiday on termination of employment, and £284.38 gross for notice pay. The Tribunal noted that income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable on the gross sums and that, if appropriate deductions were made and accounted for, payment of the net sums would discharge the judgment.

Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days. The agreed list of issues identified three heads of claim: wrongful dismissal (notice pay), holiday pay under the Working Time Regulations 1998, and unauthorised deductions under Part II of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
