Alvin’s Hot Stuff Pizza has been ordered to pay a former delivery driver almost £4,000 after he worked for over a month without being paid.
The Employment and Discrimination Tribunal heard that Jordan Haynes worked as a delivery driver for the takeaway company from 7 September to 18 October 2025.
He agreed to work around 25 hours per week, at a rate of £14 per hour.
But Mr Haynes stopped working on 18 October because he had not been paid for any of the 138 hours he had worked so far.
He was owed £1,932 in unpaid wages, but had been paid £200 in cash by Alvin’s Hot Stuff Pizza after his employment ended.
The tribunal therefore ordered the pizza company to pay Mr Haynes £1,732 as damages for unpaid wages, with no deductions for ITIS or social security.
The delivery driver also submitted a claim against his former employee for no contract and no payslips.
According to the tribunal, the lack of a contract put Mr Haynes in an “uncertain position”, and he was “unable to provide evidence of his employment to income support”.
He claimed that he asked Alvin’s Hot Stuff Pizza for a contract on “multiple occasions”, but none was provided.
Mr Haynes was awarded compensation of three weeks’ pay for the lack of a contract, which totalled £996.
The delivery driver was awarded the same amount for the lack of payslips, which the tribunal found had “caused difficulties for Mr Haynes because he has not been able to evidence the payment for the purposes of income support and income tax”.
This brings the total owed to Mr Haynes by Alvin’s Hot Stuff Pizza to £3,724.
The payment must be made within 14 days, or Mr Haynes can enforce the judgment in the Petty Debts Court.
