T Tazwar v Italian Beer Connection Ltd: 2300860/2023
JUDGMENT
[1]The Tribunal shall deal with this claim in the Respondent’s absence, for the reasons stated below.[2]The claim for unauthorised deductions from pay contrary to Part II Employment Rights Act 1996 is well-founded. The Respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the Claimant's pay in respect of December 2022. The Respondent is ordered to pay to the Claimant the gross sum of £761.68 deducted from pay.[3]The claim for financial loss sustained by the Claimant attributable to the unauthorised deduction is dismissed following withdrawal.REASONS
[1]This claim had been listed for a final hearing on 10th August 2023, but was adjourned due to the Claimant not attending.[2]The Respondent’s employee e-mailed the Tribunal on 2nd November 2023 explaining she was unable to attend due to ill-health.[3]The Response Form admitted wages amounting to £761.68 for December 2022 had not been paid to the Claimant, but disputed any further sums were owed to him. Case Number: 2300860/2023[4]The Claimant confirmed £761.68 was the amount claimed in respect of unpaid wages.[5]The Claimant stated the Respondent had not paid him the above-mentioned £761.68.[6]The Claimant withdrew the claim for consequential financial loss.[7]In the Tribunal’s judgment, there was sufficient information and evidence to determine the Respondent shall be ordered to pay the agreed sum of £761.88. In the circumstances, a further adjournment due to the Respondent’s non-attendance was disproportionate.
