Claimant v Neilson Financial Services Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal heard the case in the claimant's absence and considered the evidence presented by the respondent. After hearing the respondent's case, the tribunal was not satisfied that there had been any unauthorised deduction from wages and dismissed the complaint as not well-founded.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim for unauthorised deductions from wages against his employer, a financial services company. The claimant did not attend the hearing, which proceeded in his absence via video link. The respondent was represented by their HR representative, Ms Claire King, who presented the respondent's case.
Decision
The tribunal proceeded in the claimant's absence and heard evidence from the respondent. After considering the respondent's evidence, the tribunal was not satisfied that any unauthorised deduction from wages had occurred and dismissed the claim as not well-founded.
Practical note
A claimant's non-attendance at a hearing allows the tribunal to proceed and determine the case on the evidence presented, and the tribunal must still be satisfied on the merits that the claim is well-founded.
