Mr K Devlin v Bright FM Services Ltd: 4103032/2022
JUDGMENT
The tribunal decided the claim is well founded and ordered the respondent to pay to the claimant the sum of £1120 (being wages in the sum of £520 for April 2022 and £520 for May 2022 and 4 days’ holiday pay).REASONS
[1]The respondent did not enter an ET3 response, and did not appear for this hearing.[2]I heard evidence from the claimant, who had provided a number of documents to the tribunal in advance of the hearing. E.T. Z4 (WR)[3]The claimant was employed by the respondent as a Cleaner, working 12 hours per week. He worked continuously from the end of August 2021 until the end of May 2022.[4]The claimant did not receive payment of wages (£520) at the end of April 2022. The claimant’s efforts to obtain payment from the respondent were in vain.[5]The claimant resigned from his employment, giving one month’s notice as per the contract of employment. The claimant’s employment ended at the end of May 2022. The claimant did not receive payment of wages (£520) for the month of May 2022.[6]The claimant was entitled to 28 days holiday pay (pro rata) per annum. The holiday year ran from January to December. The claimant had accrued but not taken 4 days holiday as at the termination of employment. The claimant did not receive payment for holiday pay on the termination of his employment.[7]I accepted the claimant’s evidence and I decided the claimant had not been paid the wages properly payable at the end of April and May 2022. This amounts to the sum of £1040 (being £520 per month). I was further satisfied the claimant had accrued but not taken holidays as at the end of his employment. He is entitled to payment for those holidays, and I accepted the claimant’s calculation of 4 days holiday at the rate of £20 per day, totalling £80.
