Unlawful Deduction from Wagessucceeded

The Tribunal found the claim for unlawful deduction from wages under Part II Employment Rights Act 1996 to be well-founded. The Respondent failed to appear and did not contest the claim. The Claimant presented evidence in person supporting his claim for unpaid wages of £740.

Facts

Mr Yafai brought a claim against his employer Tlp Commercial for unlawful deduction from wages. The Respondent failed to appear at the hearing. The Claimant appeared in person and presented his case that he was owed £740 in unpaid wages.

Decision

The Tribunal found the claim well-founded and ordered the Respondent to pay £740 gross to the Claimant. The Tribunal granted a declaration that the unlawful deduction from wages claim succeeded under Part II of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

Practical note

Where a respondent fails to appear, a claimant can still succeed on an unlawful deduction from wages claim if they can present sufficient evidence to satisfy the tribunal that wages were properly due and not paid.
