Claimant v TBPG Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the claim for unauthorised deductions from earnings to be well-founded. The respondent failed to pay the claimant for work performed, constituting an unlawful deduction from wages. The tribunal ordered payment of the outstanding amount.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim for unauthorised deductions from wages against TBPG Limited. The claimant performed work for the respondent but was not paid the wages due. The claimant was represented by his father, Paul Linzell, and the respondent was represented by consultant Adam Jackson. The hearing took place remotely via CVP.
Decision
Employment Judge Smail found the claim for unauthorised deductions from earnings to be well-founded. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £288.10 to the claimant in respect of work performed.
Practical note
Employers must ensure workers are paid for all work performed to avoid successful unlawful deduction of wages claims, even for relatively small amounts.
