Claimant v Guts Gallery Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages totalling 4 weeks' net pay (£2,033.58), in breach of section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The respondent did not appear to contest the claim.
The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay the claimant notice pay in lieu of her contractual notice period of 12 weeks, totalling £5,633.48 net. The respondent did not appear to defend the claim.
The tribunal found that the respondent failed to provide itemised payslips to the claimant for January and February 2025, in breach of section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant was awarded one week's gross pay (£557.69) as compensation.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Guts Gallery Limited. Her employment ended and she was owed unpaid wages for 4 weeks and notice pay for a 12-week contractual notice period. The respondent also failed to provide itemised payslips for January and February 2025. The respondent did not attend the hearing and was not represented.
Decision
The tribunal awarded the claimant £8,224.75 in total, comprising £2,033.58 for unauthorised deductions from wages, £5,633.48 for notice pay, and £557.69 for failure to provide payslips. The respondent's non-attendance meant the claims were undefended and succeeded in full.
Practical note
Where an employer fails to defend claims for unpaid wages, notice pay and payslip provision, a tribunal will award the claimant the full amounts claimed with no deductions or adjustments.
