C Wareing v Mr A Burns t/a Mawdsleys Solicitors — 2024

The tribunal upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered the respondent to pay £1,039.50, described as the gross sum deducted. It also upheld the breach of contract claim in relation to notice pay and awarded £2,598.75, calculated from a weekly wage of £519.75 for five weeks and paid gross to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay.

The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £3,898.13. It also upheld the holiday pay complaint, finding that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay for holidays accrued but not taken when the employment ended. That award was £1,798.33, calculated on 17.3 accrued days at a daily rate of £103.95.

The total amount payable under the judgment was £9,334.71. The judgment also records that the hearing listed for 31 March 2025 was cancelled and includes a standard notice about statutory interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, but no separate interest amount was assessed in the judgment itself.
