Blair and Others v Hotel Solutions London Ltd: EAT 17 Jan 2012

EAT Unlawful Deduction From Wages : CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT – Implied term/variation/construction of term – The Claimants, room attendants at a hotel, claimed to be entitled to overtime pay under the terms of their contract, when they were unable to complete the work they were required to carry out each day without having to work during the one hour break to which they were entitled under the contract. The Employment Tribunal held that overtime was entirely voluntary under the contract and that their employer had not in fact required them to work longer hours than they were contracted to work. Their claim for unlawful deduction of wages failed. The ET’s Judgment was upheld, no error of law being disclosed.
