Unlawful Deduction from Wagessucceeded

The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's pay in respect of the period 1 July to 16 September 2024. The respondent did not attend to defend the claim. The tribunal awarded the full amount of £16,666.68 that had been deducted.

Breach of Contractsucceeded

The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay the claimant notice pay owed upon termination of employment. The claim for breach of contract in relation to notice pay was well-founded. The tribunal awarded damages reflecting Post Employment Notice Pay.

Facts

Mr Mazeika brought claims for unauthorised deductions from wages and notice pay against his former employer TC-Service Solutions Ltd. The respondent failed to pay him for the period 1 July to 16 September 2024 and did not provide notice pay upon termination on 16 September 2024. The respondent did not attend the hearing to defend the claims.

Decision

The tribunal found both claims well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £16,666.68 in unpaid wages for the period worked and £6,666.67 in notice pay, calculated on a gross basis to reflect Post Employment Notice Pay tax treatment. The total award was £23,333.35.

Practical note

Where a respondent fails to attend a hearing, a tribunal may still find in favour of the claimant on the evidence presented, awarding full compensation for unpaid wages and notice pay on a gross basis.
