Case Summary
Mr O Warren claimed unpaid holiday pay, pension contributions, notice pay, and gratuities from Dillon Catering Limited. The tribunal found in his favour on holiday pay, pension contributions, notice pay (by consent) and gratuities (not by consent), but dismissed the claim for pay during WTR breaks. A section 38 uplift of £662.68 was awarded, bringing the total payable to £1782.18.
Why this outcome?
The claimant's claims for holiday pay, pension contributions, and notice pay were admitted by consent. The claim for unpaid gratuities succeeded on the merits. The WTR break claim was dismissed. A section 38 Employment Act 2002 uplift was awarded because the respondent failed to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars.
