Claimant v Assets 365 Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages totalling £64,666.67. The respondent did not attend to contest the claim, and the tribunal was satisfied the deduction was unauthorised.
The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken when his employment ended in December 2023. This constituted an unauthorised deduction from wages amounting to £19,999.85.
The tribunal found that the respondent failed to make employer pension contributions from 1 October 2021 to the end of employment in December 2023, breaching the claimant's contract. The total unpaid employer contributions amounted to £5,400.
Facts
Mr Garnette was employed by Assets 365 Limited. His employment ended in December 2023. The respondent failed to pay him wages totalling £64,666.67, failed to pay accrued holiday pay of £19,999.85 upon termination, and failed to make employer pension contributions totalling £5,400 from October 2021 until the end of employment. The respondent did not attend the hearing to defend the claims.
Decision
The tribunal found all three claims well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £64,666.67 for unauthorised wage deductions, £19,999.85 for unpaid holiday pay, and £5,400 for unpaid pension contributions, totalling £90,066.55. The claimant is responsible for any tax and National Insurance on these gross sums.
Practical note
When an employer fails to attend a hearing, a claimant appearing in person can successfully prove substantial wage deductions, holiday pay, and pension contribution claims if they present adequate evidence to the tribunal.
