Claimant v ETC & Co Logistics Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages to be well-founded. The respondent failed to attend or file a response, and the claimant successfully established their claim for unpaid wages of £750.40.
Facts
T Knowles brought a claim for unauthorised deductions from wages against their employer, ETC & Co Logistics Limited. The respondent failed to file any response to the claim and did not attend the hearing. The claimant appeared in person and presented their case for unpaid gross wages of £750.40.
Decision
The tribunal found the claim for unauthorised deductions from wages to be well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £750.40 in gross wages, from which tax and national insurance would be deducted. Interest at 8% per annum would apply if payment was not made within 14 days.
Practical note
Employers who fail to defend claims for unpaid wages face default judgments where claimants can succeed on uncontested evidence.
