Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of the net sum unlawfully deducted.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim for unlawful deduction of wages against WiseUp Events Limited. The matter was heard by video hearing before Employment Judge Robinson. The claimant was represented by his mother, Ms C Field, while the respondent was represented by Mrs Wise, their Head of HR.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant, concluding that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from his wages. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the net sum of £80.01 representing the amount unlawfully deducted.
Practical note
Even small unauthorised wage deductions are actionable and tribunals will order repayment where employers fail to comply with wage payment obligations.
