Claimant v Harry James Group Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the Respondent had unlawfully deducted wages from the Claimant, comprising 25 days wages from July 2024 and employee pension contributions. The claim under s.13 Employment Rights Act was therefore well founded.
Facts
The Claimant brought a claim for unlawful deduction of wages against his former employer. The deductions related to 25 days wages from July 2024 and employee pension contributions. The Claimant represented himself at the hearing while the Respondent company was represented by a director, Mr Horncastle.
Decision
The tribunal found the claim under s.13 Employment Rights Act was well founded. The Respondent was ordered to pay the Claimant £2,539.35 net, comprising unpaid wages and pension contributions. This was stated to be a gross award subject to tax and national insurance.
Practical note
Employers must ensure wages and pension contributions are paid in full and on time, as failure to do so will result in successful unlawful deduction of wages claims.
