Claimant v A.R.G.C. Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claim for unlawful deductions from wages was not well-founded and dismissed it, confirming that the claimant was employed under a contract of employment but had not established unlawful deductions.
The tribunal found that the breach of contract claim was not well-founded and dismissed it. The tribunal determined that the respondent had not breached the contract of employment.
Facts
Jonathon Lawrence brought claims against A.R.G.C. Limited for unlawful deductions from wages and breach of contract. The tribunal confirmed that the claimant was employed by the respondent under a contract of employment at all relevant times. The hearing took place over two days via video.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed both claims, finding that neither the unlawful deductions from wages claim nor the breach of contract claim was well-founded. The claimant, who represented himself, was unable to establish that the respondent had unlawfully deducted wages or breached the contract of employment.
Practical note
Even where employment status is confirmed, claimants must still prove the substantive elements of their wage and contract claims to succeed.
