Decision Text

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. There are no exceptional circumstances that make an award of an amount equal to two weeks’ gross pay unjust or inequitable. It is not just and equitable to make an award of an amount equal to four weeks’ gross pay. In accordance with section 38 Employment Act 2002 the respondent shall therefore pay the claimant a sum equating to two weeks gross pay which is the sum of £1545.50. REASONS Findings of Fact 1.
