Claimant v UY&GA Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages in the period 7 October to 24 November 2024, awarding the gross sum deducted of £10,105.34.
The tribunal upheld the complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay, awarding £9,166.66 as damages calculated using gross pay to reflect post-employment taxation.
The complaint of breach of contract in relation to failure to follow disciplinary policy was not well-founded and did not succeed.
The tribunal found that the respondent made unauthorised deductions by failing to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken on the date employment ended, awarding £1,706.54.
Facts
Mr Saatci brought claims against UY&GA Limited for unauthorised deductions from wages, breach of contract in relation to notice pay and disciplinary procedures, and unpaid holiday pay. The respondent did not attend the hearing. The claimant's employment ended on 24 November 2024, and he claimed deductions were made from his wages in the period 7 October to 24 November 2024.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on all claims except the breach of contract claim relating to failure to follow disciplinary policy. The tribunal awarded total compensation of £21,128.54 comprising unpaid wages, notice pay, holiday pay, and expenses.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to attend a hearing, a claimant appearing in person can successfully prove claims for wage deductions, notice pay, and holiday pay when properly evidenced.
