Facts
Two claimants, Miss S Junio and Ms L Beruan, brought claims against their employer, Peal Care Professionals Ltd, a healthcare company. Both claimants alleged that their employer had made unlawful deductions from their wages. The case was heard remotely via CVP at Birmingham Employment Tribunal. Both claimants appeared in person without legal representation, while the respondent was represented by its Managing Director, Mr Santiago.
Decision
Employment Judge Maxwell found both claims well-founded and ruled in favour of both claimants. Miss S Junio was awarded £2,054.83 net in unpaid wages, and Ms L Beruan was awarded £3,022.74 net in unpaid wages. The tribunal determined that the respondent had unlawfully deducted wages from both employees.
Practical note
Employers in the care sector must ensure full and timely payment of wages to avoid successful unlawful deduction claims, even when employees are unrepresented.
