Outcome

Claimant succeeds£7,152

Individual claims

Unlawful Deduction from Wagessucceeded

The respondent accepted it made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's pay in respect of wages due for May, June and 1-10 September 2024. The tribunal was satisfied these constituted a sequence of payments and the claim was brought in time.

Facts

The claimant was employed by Irbis Capital Partners Limited. The respondent failed to pay the claimant her wages for May 2024, June 2024, and for the period 1-10 September 2024. The respondent accepted that these deductions were unauthorised.

Decision

The tribunal found the claim for unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded. The respondent accepted making the deductions and the tribunal was satisfied the deductions formed a sequence of payments, meaning the claim was in time. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £7,152.35 net unpaid wages to the claimant.

Practical note

Where an employer admits failing to pay wages over multiple months, these can constitute a series of deductions allowing the tribunal to hear claims beyond the usual three-month time limit.
