Facts
The Claimant brought a claim for unlawful deduction of wages against Royal Mail Group Ltd. The Respondent conceded that it had unlawfully deducted £175.26 from the Claimant's wages. The judgment records this concession and orders payment. The Claimant has a separate ongoing discrimination claim on grounds of race and disability listed for hearing in November 2025.
Decision
The Tribunal accepted the Respondent's concession that it had unlawfully deducted £175.26 from wages in breach of s.13 ERA 1996. A declaration to that effect was made and the Respondent was ordered to pay the sum to the Claimant pursuant to s.24 ERA 1996.
Practical note
Where an employer concedes an unlawful deduction of wages claim, the Tribunal will make a declaration and order payment, even for modest sums.
