1 EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Claimant: Jake Pick Respondent: RJD Air Conditioning Services Ltd Heard at: Leicester On: 7 January 2026 Before: Employment Judge L Brown REPRESENTATION: Claimant: Mr Ross, Counsel Respondent: In person RESERVED JUDGMENT 1. The complaint of unfair dismissal is well-founded. The claimant was unfairly dismissed. 2. The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages is well-founded. The respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the period from 5 May to 7 May 2025 in respect of two days’ work not paid for the 5 and 7 May 2025. The Respondent shall pay the Claimant the gross sum of £309.10. The claimant is responsible for paying any tax or National Insurance. This sum is based on a gross weekly pay figure of £772.75. 3. The complaint in respect of holiday pay is well-founded. The respondent failed to pay the claimant in accordance with regulation 14(2) and/or 16(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998. 2 The Respondent shall pay the Claimant the gross sum of £514.65 for 3.33 days of annual leave owed. The claimant is responsible for paying any tax or National Insurance. This sum is based on a gross weekly pay figure of £772.75. 4. When the proceedings were begun the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars.
