Claimant v Magna Services Group Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent had unlawfully deducted wages from the claimant for the period 1 February 2024 to 15 February 2024, and ordered payment of the gross sum deducted.
The tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to notice pay and awarded the gross amount reflecting post-employment notice pay.
Facts
Mr Strong brought claims against Magna Services Group Ltd for unlawful deductions from wages and wrongful dismissal. His employment ended on 15 February 2024. The respondent had deducted wages for the period 1-15 February 2024 and failed to pay notice pay. The case was heard remotely with the claimant representing himself and the respondent represented by its director, Mr J Roberts.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on both claims. The respondent was ordered to pay £1,903.85 in unlawful deductions from wages for the period 1-15 February 2024, and £865.38 in notice pay, for a total award of £2,769.23 gross.
Practical note
Even in straightforward wage and notice pay claims, self-represented claimants can succeed against corporate respondents where there are clear breaches of basic employment obligations.
