Mr J Eaton v RZR GMZ Ltd: 1401391/2022
JUDGMENT
[1]The respondent has made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and is ordered to pay the claimant the net sum of £627.REASONS
[1]The respondent did not attend the hearing and had not entered a response to the claim. The claim form had been served on two addresses for the respondent, including the registered office. I considered it appropriate to continue with the hearing.[2]The claimant told me, and I accepted, that the respondent had contacted him on 20th September 2022 to ask if he was still owed money and the claimant had replied telling it how much he was owed. He had heard nothing since.[3]The claimant’s case was as set out in the claim form, namely that he was not paid his last 3 week’s wages amounting to £627. I asked how that was calculated and he told me that the respondent had said to him in an email that he was due that sum. He also told me that he worked 25 hours per week at a minimum wage of £8.37. For 75 hours that would amount to £627.75.[4]The claimant told me that he would receive the amount of £627 in his bank account, there would be no deductions for tax or national insurance. Case Number: 1401391/2022[5]The claimant confirmed his evidence on oath and I accepted his evidence. I awarded the sums claimed in the claim form of £627.
