Claimant v Recruitment Mergers Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent conceded that it owed the claimant £1742.46 for unauthorised deduction of wages and failed to pay that sum since the hearing on 13 December 2024. The tribunal found the claim well founded and ordered payment.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim for unauthorised deduction of wages against his employer, a recruitment company. The respondent conceded at a hearing on 13 December 2024 that it owed the claimant £1742.46, but subsequently failed to pay this sum. The claimant then applied for a preparation time order, which the respondent also conceded in the sum of £310.00.
Decision
The tribunal found the claim of unauthorised deduction of wages well founded and ordered the respondent to pay £1742.46. The tribunal also ordered the respondent to pay preparation time costs of £310.00, following the respondent's concession of the application.
Practical note
Where a respondent concedes liability for unpaid wages but fails to pay, the tribunal will make a formal judgment and may also award preparation time costs against the respondent.
