JUDGMENT

In the absence of an ET3 Response and there being sufficient material before me on which I can properly make a determination, I have decided:

[1]The respondent has unlawfully deducted wages from Mr Williams. Mr Williams is owed £891 in respect of unpaid wages (3 weeks’ wages at £297 net per week).

[2]As the respondent has reportedly ceased trading, it is likely Mr Williams will face difficulty recovering this debt from the respondent. If Mr Williams is unable to recover this debt from the respondent, he is referred to section 166(1)a Employment Rights Act 1996, which explains his right to claim payment from the National Insurance Fund.

[3]The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Jobseekers Allowance & Income Support) Regulations 1996 do not apply to this award.
