Mrs R D S Bates v Myrrha’s Essence Aesthetic Ltd: 6007077/2025
JUDGMENT
[1]The claim was presented in the Watford Employment Tribunal on 1 March 2025. The respondent has failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge has decided that a determination can properly be made of the claim, or part of it, in accordance with rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024.[2]The respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages in the period 1 January to 18 February 2025. The Tribunal orders the respondent to pay the claimant £1,803.77 gross in respect of those deductions.[3]The respondent has failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and must pay the claimant £189 gross.[4]The Tribunal makes no award of compensation for breach of contract in respect of notice as the claimant’s wages for her notice period are included within the award for unauthorised deductions from wages.[5]When the proceedings were begun the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars. It is just and equitable to make an award of an amount equal to four weeks’ gross pay. In accordance with section 38 Employment Act 2002 the respondent shall therefore pay the claimant the sum of £1,000.[6]The respondent must pay the claimant £2,992.77 in total. Approved by:
