Facts
Mr Jones brought a claim for unauthorised deductions from wages against his employer, TCMC Crowded Space Limited trading as The Traffic Management Company. The respondent failed to submit a valid ET3 response form within the required time limit.
Decision
The tribunal entered a default judgment in favour of the claimant under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure, finding that unauthorised deductions had been made and ordering payment of £2,043.16 gross.
