Claimant v B.L.I.S.S. Support Services Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the claim of unauthorised deductions from wages under s.13 ERA was not well founded. The judgment does not provide detailed reasoning but the claim was dismissed on its merits.
The tribunal found the respondent failed to pay the claimant his contractual notice pay. The claimant was entitled to notice pay and the respondent was ordered to pay £900 representing the unpaid notice period.
Facts
The claimant brought two claims against his former employer: unauthorised deductions from wages and failure to pay notice pay. The hearing took place remotely via video conference. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by a solicitor. The tribunal heard evidence and submissions on both claims.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claim for unauthorised deductions from wages under s.13 ERA as not well founded. However, the tribunal found in favour of the claimant on the notice pay claim and awarded £900 representing the unpaid notice period to which he was contractually entitled.
Practical note
Even where a claimant is unrepresented and loses on one wage-related claim, they may still succeed on a separate contractual notice pay claim if the evidence supports non-payment.
