Miss E Robinson v Lapa Canine Search Ltd: 2304446/2023
JUDGMENT
The respondent did not respond to the claim and did not attend the hearing. The claimant claimed gross pay of £1,500 for the period 15/5/2023 to 14/6/2023. She also claims a month’s pay for the period 15/6/2023 to 14/7/2023, less 8 days sickness absence. The first 3 days of that absence are unpaid qualifying days for sickness absence and are unpaid. The Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to award a sum in respect of unpaid statutory sickness pay. There are 21 working day in the period, less 8 days sickness absence, therefore the claim is for 13 days x a day’s gross pay of £69.00. The sum is therefore £897. £1,500 + £897 = £2,397.00. Case Number: 2304446/2023 The claimant’s claim of an unauthorised deduction from wages of the sum of £2,397.00 gross is well-founded and succeeds. The claimant is to account to HMRC. 24 January 2024
