Mrs E Nicol v C Hadfield: 2414174/2021
REASONS
[1]The claimant worked as a delivery driver for the respondent who runs a sandwich shop from 8 July 2021 to 12 July 2021.[2]The claimant complains that she was not paid for the five days of her employment with the respondent.[3]The claimant also complains that the respondent failed to provide her with a statement of employment particulars.[4]The claimant was entitled to gross wages of £50 per day. However, the respondent failed to pay the claimant over this period.[5]There has been an unlawful deduction from the claimant’s gross wages of £250.[6]The respondent failed to provide the claimant with a statement of employment particulars.[7]If a Tribunal makes a finding that there has been an unlawful deduction from wages contrary to section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, section 38 of the Employment Act 2022 compels a Tribunal to make the minimum award of compensation for a failure to provide a statement of employment particulars. The minimum award is an amount equal to two weeks pay.[8]The claimant is therefore entitled to a gross award of £500.
