Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the second respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages totalling £5,530, comprising £4,122 in unpaid wages and £1,408 in unpaid overtime.
The tribunal found that the second respondent failed to provide the claimant with itemised pay statements contrary to section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, awarding compensation of £4,122.
Facts
Mr Suna brought claims against Amandeep Singh and Solid Crete Limited for unpaid wages and failure to provide itemised pay statements. The case appears to have proceeded as a default judgment with the respondents not participating in the proceedings. The claimant claimed £4,122 in unpaid wages and £1,408 in unpaid overtime.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on both claims. The second respondent was ordered to pay £5,530 for unauthorised deductions from wages (comprising unpaid wages and overtime) and £4,122 compensation for failure to provide itemised pay statements under section 8 ERA 1996, totalling £9,652.
Practical note
Employers who fail to pay wages and provide proper pay statements face liability for both the unpaid sums and additional compensation under section 8 ERA 1996, which can effectively double the financial exposure.
