Claimant v Mr Michael Powell
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the Second Respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages during the period between 6 November and 26 December 2023, and awarded the claimant the gross sum of £176.04 representing the unpaid wages.
Facts
Mr Sanders brought a claim for unauthorised deductions from wages against two respondents: Mr Michael Powell personally and M & S Powell Ltd. The claim related to unpaid wages during the period between 6 November and 26 December 2023. Both parties appeared in person at a remote video hearing.
Decision
The tribunal upheld the claim for unauthorised deductions from wages against the Second Respondent (M & S Powell Ltd) and ordered payment of £176.04 gross representing unpaid wages. The claim against the First Respondent (Mr Michael Powell personally) was dismissed.
Practical note
Employees must correctly identify the proper respondent in wage claims - here the company rather than the individual director was liable for the wage deduction.
