Claimant v Easy Auto Lease Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal declared that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from both claimants' wages and awarded compensation accordingly. The respondent failed to attend or defend the claim.
Facts
Two claimants brought claims against their employer, Easy Auto Lease Ltd, for unauthorised deductions from wages. This was a remedy hearing following an earlier liability determination. The respondent did not attend the remedy hearing and was unrepresented. The tribunal awarded substantial sums to both claimants representing unpaid wages.
Decision
The tribunal declared that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered payment of £35,180.35 to the First Claimant and £5,725.73 to the Second Claimant. Additional awards under s.38 Employment Act 2002 were made for failure to provide written particulars, bringing total awards to £36,580.35 and £6,879.57 respectively.
Practical note
Employers who fail to pay wages and do not engage with tribunal proceedings will face substantial awards including statutory uplifts for failure to provide written employment particulars.
