Miss S Uddin v Birdhaus Restaurants Limited — 2025

Employment Judge Robinson, sitting alone at London South Employment Tribunal by video on 1 August 2025, determined the claims of Miss S Uddin against Birdhaus Restaurants Limited. The Claimant appeared in person; the Respondent did not attend. The Tribunal found that the Respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the Claimant's wages and ordered payment of £817.66 as the total gross sum deducted. The Tribunal further found that the Respondent had made an unauthorised deduction by failing to pay the Claimant in lieu of accrued but untaken annual leave on termination, and ordered payment of £398.17.

The Tribunal additionally ordered the Respondent to pay the Claimant two weeks' pay (£589.62) as additional compensation under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002 for failure to provide the Claimant with a written employment contract. The Claimant's claim for notice pay was dismissed on withdrawal by the Claimant. Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will not be provided unless requested in accordance with the Tribunal's standard notice.
