Claimant v TC-Service Solutions Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's pay for the period 1 August to 10 October 2024. The respondent did not attend the hearing to defend the claim. The tribunal was satisfied that the deduction was unlawful under Part II of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Facts
The claimant, Mr A Tistoi, worked for TC-Service Solutions Ltd until 10 October 2024. The respondent made unauthorised deductions from his wages during the period of 1 August to 10 October 2024 totaling £8,943.16 gross. The respondent failed to attend the hearing to contest the claim.
Decision
The tribunal found the claim for unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £8,943.16 gross representing wages unlawfully deducted. The respondent's non-attendance meant the claim was essentially uncontested.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to attend a hearing, the tribunal can still proceed and make a judgment based on the claimant's evidence, particularly in straightforward wage deduction cases.
