Miss E Taylor v Ms A Burns (T/a Niche Hairdressing): 2500064/2024
JUDGMENT
The Judgment of the Employment Tribunal is as follows:[1]By consent, the correct name of the respondent is as shown above and any necessary corrections are made without the need for re-service.[2]As a consequence, Amy Burns, who was previously named as the second respondent to these proceedings, is removed from these proceedings.[3]The claimant’s complaint under section 23 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from her wages contrary to section 13 of that Act is well-founded in that, on occasions:a. she did not pay the claimant in full in respect of her contractual hours of 30 hours each week; andb. she did not pay the claimant at the correct apprentice rate of the National Minimum Wage to which she was entitled.[4]In respect of the above unauthorised deductions referred to at paragraph 2a above, the respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the sum of £1,079.92.[5]In respect of the above unauthorised deductions referred to at paragraph 2b above, the respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the sum of £228.54. Case Number: 2500064/2024[6]Each of the above sums has been calculated by reference to the claimant’s gross wage and any liability to income tax or employee’s National Insurance contributions shall be the liability of the claimant alone.[7]The respondent’s response to the claimant’s complaint that she did not pay her at the correct apprentice rate of the National Minimum Wage to which she was entitled had no reasonable prospect of success. In accordance with rules 74 to 84 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 I therefore make a preparation time order that the respondent must pay to the claimant the sum of £123.00.
