Claimant v By Millimetres Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages by failing to pay his final salary and holiday pay as recorded in the payslip dated 30 September 2024. The claim succeeded in full with the respondent ordered to pay the full amount owed.
The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay holiday pay owed to the claimant as shown on the September 2024 payslip. This formed part of the overall unauthorised deduction from wages claim which succeeded.
Facts
Mr Bellelli was employed by By Millimetres Ltd. His employment ended around September 2024. The respondent issued a payslip dated 30 September 2024 showing final salary and holiday pay owed to the claimant, but failed to pay these amounts totaling £1,901.91 net. The respondent did not attend the hearing to defend the claim.
Decision
The tribunal found the claim of unauthorised deduction from wages well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £1,901.91 net representing the final salary and holiday pay shown on the September 2024 payslip. The respondent remains responsible for any tax and National Insurance contributions on this sum.
Practical note
Where an employer issues a payslip acknowledging amounts owed but fails to pay them, a tribunal will readily find an unauthorised deduction from wages, particularly where the employer does not attend to defend the claim.
