Claimant v Know Dementia
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the claimant's claims for unlawful deduction from wages under section 23 Employment Rights Act 1996 to be well founded. The respondent failed to pay the claimant a redundancy bonus of £343.20, expenses of £105.30, and deducted £44.70 from a float that should have been returned.
Facts
Mrs Pickford brought claims for unlawful deduction from wages against Know Dementia. The respondent failed to attend the hearing. The claimant was owed a redundancy bonus, unreimbursed expenses, and money deducted from a float that should have been returned to her.
Decision
Employment Judge Perry found all claims for unlawful deduction from wages well founded. The respondent was ordered to pay a total of £493.20 gross, comprising a redundancy bonus, expenses, and the wrongfully deducted float amount.
Practical note
Employers who fail to attend tribunal hearings risk default judgments where the claimant can prove their claims for unpaid wages, bonuses and expenses on the balance of probabilities.
