Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the Respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the Claimant's wages on 8 August 2024. The Claimant was entitled to the full amount of wages without this deduction, which the Respondent had no lawful basis to make.
Facts
The Claimant, Moritz Schaffer, brought a claim for unauthorised deduction from wages against Clarify B2B Ltd. The deduction was made on 8 August 2024 in the amount of £21.88 gross. The Claimant appeared in person while the Respondent was represented by their Business Partnering Director. The tribunal heard evidence and submissions from both parties.
Decision
Employment Judge Tynan found that the Respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the Claimant's wages on 8 August 2024. The tribunal ordered the Respondent to pay the Claimant £21.88 gross in respect of the unlawful deduction.
Practical note
Even small unauthorised wage deductions are unlawful and tribunals will order repayment regardless of the modest amount involved.
