Mr V Georgiou v J M Hall Couriers Ltd and Champion Transport LLP: 1401487/2018
JUDGMENT
[1]Mr Georgiou’s claim that his employer has made a deduction from his wages in contravention of section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was presented to the Employment Tribunals before the end of the period specified in section 23(2) of that Act. The Employment Tribunals have jurisdiction to hear that claim.[2]Exercising the power conferred on this Tribunal by the provisions of rule 48 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, the Tribunal orders that this Hearing be treated as a final hearing.[3]The Claimant’s claim under section 23 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 that the Respondents have failed to pay wages due to the Claimant is well founded.[4]The Respondents are ordered to pay to the Claimant £928.47 (being half a month’s gross pay). Any amount which the Respondents lawfully deduct from this amount by way of income tax, national insurance contributions or otherwise shall be treated to that extent as in payment of this order. In the absence of evidence to substantiate the lawfulness and amount of such a deduction, the gross amount specified shall be due under this Judgment to the Claimant.
