Mr S H Sultana v Sasa Super Foods Ltd — 2025

This was a Rule 22 judgment given by Employment Judge A Green at London East Hearing Centre (CVP) on 18 February 2025. The respondent had failed to file an ET3 grounds of resistance and was not present or represented; the claimant appeared in person. The Tribunal considered the ET1 and heard from the claimant before issuing judgment.

The Tribunal found three monetary complaints well-founded. The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was upheld and the respondent was ordered to pay £3,180.32 as the gross sum deducted. The complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was upheld with £430.35 awarded as damages, calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood of Post Employment Notice Pay tax treatment. The holiday pay complaint was upheld on the basis 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, with £503.31 awarded.

The Tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to give the claimant written itemised pay statements as required by section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 in the period May and June 2024. Written reasons were not provided, as reasons had been given orally at the hearing.
