Claimant v Safety Shield Global Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time and the claim was determined under Rule 22.
The claimant claimed breach of contract regarding failure to provide an opportunity to earn a quarterly bonus. The tribunal found the claimant had not satisfied them as to his contractual entitlement to such an opportunity.
Facts
B Whittaker brought claims against Safety Shield Global Limited for unauthorised deduction of wages and breach of contract relating to a quarterly bonus. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The tribunal determined the claim under Rule 22 of the Procedure Rules on the papers without a hearing.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on the unauthorised deduction of wages claim, awarding £1,200 gross. The breach of contract claim regarding the quarterly bonus failed because the claimant did not satisfy the tribunal as to his contractual entitlement.
Practical note
In default judgment cases under Rule 22, claimants must still satisfy the tribunal as to their contractual entitlements even when the respondent does not participate.
