Mr R Weekes v HQ London Group Ltd: 2204734/2021
JUDGMENT
[1]The respondent has made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s wages in breach of section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 by deducting from the claimant’s wages £80 for the uniform and is ordered to pay to the claimant the net sum of £80 in respect of the amount unlawfully deducted.[2]By failing to pay to the claimant for accrued but untaken statutory holiday of 6.1 hours the respondent has made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s wages contrary to section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and in breach of regulation 14(2) of the Working Time Regulations 1998 and is ordered to pay to the claimant the net sum of £54.35 in respect of the amount unlawfully deducted. Case Number: 2204734/2021 (V)[3]The respondent was not in breach of s1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. Accordingly, the claimant’s claim for an award under s.38 of the Employment Act 2002 in respect of the failure by the respondent to provide a statement of employment particulars under s1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 fails and is dismissed.[4]The respondent’s breach of section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 had one or more aggravated features, and therefore the respondent is ordered to pay a penalty of £100 to the Secretary of State.
