Case Summary
The claimant successfully brought claims for holiday pay and unfair dismissal against the respondent. The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorized deduction from the claimant's wages by failing to pay for 10 days of accrued but untaken holiday, and that the claimant was unfairly dismissed, though with a 75% chance they would have been fairly dismissed in any event. The tribunal increased the compensatory award by 25% due to the respondent's failure to follow the ACAS Code of Practice.
Why this outcome?
The tribunal found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed because the respondent failed to follow proper disciplinary procedures in breach of the ACAS Code of Practice, and that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay for 10 days of accrued holiday on termination.
