Mr P Jesson v Hough Green Garage Ltd: 2401347/2021
JUDGMENT
[1]The respondent made an unauthorised deduction of £444.00 from the claimant’s wages. Accordingly the respondent is ordered to pay the claimant the sum of £444.00, plus compensation of £79.40 for consequential losses, making a total sum of £523.40.[2]The respondent made further deductions from the claimant’s wages, but those deductions were authorised. So far as those deductions are concerned, the claim fails.[3]The claimant had no statutory protection against unfair dismissal because he did not have a qualifying period of continuous employment. His unfair dismissal complaint therefore fails.[4]The respondent was entitled to dismiss the claimant without giving notice. The claimant’s claim for damages for breach of contract therefore fails.[5]The respondent did not make any unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s holiday pay.
