Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's pay for the period 27 March 2024 to 28 April 2024 in breach of Part II Employment Rights Act 1996. The respondent did not attend to defend the claim.
The tribunal found that the respondent failed in its statutory duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of the main terms of employment as required by section 1 Employment Rights Act 1996. An award of four weeks' pay was made under section 38 Employment Act 2002.
Facts
Miss Calvin was employed by Glamour Dolls Limited. The respondent failed to pay wages due for the period 27 March 2024 to 28 April 2024, making an unauthorised deduction of £645. The respondent also failed to provide the claimant with a written statement of her main terms of employment as required by law. The respondent did not attend the hearing to defend the claims.
Decision
The tribunal found both claims well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £645 in deducted wages and a further £547.77 (four weeks' gross pay) as a penalty for failing to provide written terms of employment under section 38 Employment Act 2002.
Practical note
Employers who fail to attend tribunal hearings risk default judgments for unpaid wages and additional statutory penalties for failing to provide written terms of employment.
