The claimant’s claim for underpaid wages from 1 April 2025 to 9 June 2025 is well founded and succeeds. The respondent is ordered to pay the claimant compensation of £42.60 representing an underpayment of £0.71 per hour for 60 hours worked. 2. The claimant’s claim that the respondent made an unlawful deduction from her wages by failing to pay her for the last two weeks of her employment is well founded and succeeds.

The claimant’s claim that the respondent failed to pay her for holiday entitled accrued in the leave year in which her employment terminated and which was untaken on termination is well founded and succeeds.
