Mr M M Safari v Lagomera Meathouse Ltd: 2404944/2025
JUDGMENT
(1) The complaint in respect of holiday pay is well-founded. The respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages by failing to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken on the date the claimant’s employment ended.(2) The respondent shall pay the claimant £2186.78 (Two Thousand and Eighty-Six Pounds 78 Pence). The claimant is responsible for paying any tax or National Insurance.REASONS
[1]The claimant attended with his friend Ms Rodgers and the respondent company’s representatives did not attend. I was content that the company had been properly served with the proceedings at their registered office. The company remains registered at Companies House and the proposal to strike off the register is suspended upon application by Ms Rodgers on behalf of the claimant.[2]I heard from the claimant and Ms Rodgers had helpfully produced a schedule of loss using calculation in support of the claim for holiday pay which had accrued. Relevant calculations using the HMRC website had been submitted, together with details of taxable pay received during the period of employment from 8 April 2024 until 1 May 2025.[3]The claimant also produced the available pay slips for this period, which were the majority of his payslips, which confirmed that he was paid by the respondent company, received minimum wage payments for hours worked, but no reference was made to any holiday being paid to him.[4]The respondent had failed to engage with the Tribunal process and had failed to present a response to the claim or make any submissions concerning the remedy sought.[5]I therefore concluded that the claimant had demonstrated a failure by the respondent to pay holiday pay in the sum of £2186.78 and judgment was issued accordingly.
