Claimant v Moahmmed Umair Shariq
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the Respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the Claimant's wages of 179 hours at £11.90 per hour during the period from August to November 2024. The complaint was well-founded and the Respondent was ordered to pay the gross sum deducted.
Facts
The Claimant brought a claim for unlawful deduction of wages against the Respondent, an individual employer. The Claimant alleged that 179 hours of wages at £11.90 per hour were not paid during the period from August to November 2024. The Respondent did not attend the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the Claimant, concluding that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded. The Respondent was ordered to pay the Claimant £2,130.10 gross, representing the 179 unpaid hours at £11.90 per hour.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to attend and a claimant presents credible evidence of unpaid wages, the tribunal will find in favour of the claimant and order payment of the gross sum owed.
