J Grimshaw v Ace Elite Autos Ltd: 6023941/2025
JUDGMENT
[1]The claim was presented in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 26 June 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 Rules of Procedure.[2]The respondent has made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages and must pay the claimant £2,518.75 gross, calculated as follows:a. February 2025: balance outstanding from pay slip £1,000.00b. 1-20 March 2025: 121.5 hours x £12.50 per hour = £1,518.75c. £1,000.00 + £1518.75 = £2,518.75[3]The claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and the respondent must pay damages to the claimant of £2,162.50 (21/3/25 to 17/4/25: 173 hours x £12.50 = £2,162.50). This has been calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant will have to pay tax on it as “Post Employment Notice Pay”.[4]The respondent has failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and must pay the claimant £51.25.[5]The respondent must pay the claimant £4,732.50 in total.
