Facts
The claimant brought a complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages against his employer, Dial Partners LLP. The respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages during the period of 1 August to 31 August 2024. Both parties agreed on the amounts owed: a gross sum of £10,500 and a net figure of £6,323.54, as documented on the claimant's payslip dated 30 August 2024.
Decision
The tribunal upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £10,500, with the claimant being responsible for any applicable tax or National Insurance contributions.
Practical note
Where parties agree on the quantum of an unlawful wage deduction, tribunals will order payment of the gross sum with tax responsibility placed on the claimant.
