Claimant v Affordable Window Systems Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay the claimant wages in the period 15 May to 7 June 2024. The respondent had since paid the amount due, so no order for payment was necessary.
The tribunal found that the complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages for the earlier period of 9 February to 14 May 2024 were not well founded and dismissed these claims.

The tribunal found that the complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages for the earlier period of 9 February to 14 May 2024 were not well founded and dismissed these claims.
Facts
The claimant brought claims for unauthorised deductions from wages covering two periods: 9 February to 14 May 2024 and 15 May to 7 June 2024. The respondent was a window systems company represented by a legal executive, while the claimant represented himself.
Decision
The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction for the later period (15 May to 7 June 2024), but the claimant confirmed this had now been paid. The claims for the earlier period (9 February to 14 May 2024) were dismissed as not well founded.
Practical note
Wage deduction claims can succeed for specific periods even where other periods are dismissed, but if payment is made before judgment, no order is necessary.
