Claimant v Concentrix TSC UK Limited t/a Concentrix
Outcome
Individual claims
Withdrawn by the claimant at the start of the hearing.
The tribunal found that the claimant was not subjected to unfavourable treatment because of her pregnancy or maternity leave. The claims under s.18 Equality Act 2010 were not proved.
The tribunal found that the claimant was not subjected to less favourable treatment because of her sex. The remaining claims of direct sex discrimination under s.13 Equality Act 2010 were not proved.
The tribunal found there was an unauthorised deduction of wages at the rate of £100 per month between September 2023 and March 2024. However, this has since been repaid and the claimant did not prove any other consequential financial losses.
Facts
The claimant brought claims of pregnancy/maternity discrimination and sex discrimination against her employer Concentrix. She also claimed unauthorised deduction of wages at £100 per month between September 2023 and March 2024. The claimant appeared in person while the respondent was represented by a solicitor at a three-day video hearing.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the pregnancy discrimination and sex discrimination claims, finding they were not proved. However, the tribunal upheld the unlawful deduction of wages claim, finding £100 per month had been deducted without authorisation between September 2023 and March 2024, though this had since been repaid with no additional consequential losses proved.
Practical note
Even where discrimination claims fail, procedural failures such as unauthorised wage deductions may still be upheld, though if already remedied the claimant must prove additional consequential losses to obtain further compensation.
