S O’Connor v PVTEC Ltd: 2401723/2025
JUDGMENT
[1]The claim was presented in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 9 th May 2025. The respondent has failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge has decided that a determination can properly be made of the claim, or part of it, in accordance with rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.[2]The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages is well-founded. The respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s wages in the period 29th November 2024 to 3rd February 2025.[3]The respondent shall pay the claimant £3,072.00 which is the gross sum. The claimant is responsible for the payment of any tax or National Insurance.[4]The complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay is well founded.[5]The respondent shall pay the claimant £256.00 as damages for breach of contract. This figure has been calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant will have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay.[6]The respondent must pay the claimant £3,328.00 in total.

Interest is payable on Employment Tribunal awards if they remain wholly or partly unpaid more than 14 days after the relevant decision day. Sums in the award that represent costs or expenses are excluded. Interest starts to accrue from the day immediately after the relevant decision day, which is called the calculation day.[3]The date of the relevant decision day in your case is set out in the Notice. If the judgment is paid in full by that date, no interest will be payable. If the judgment is not paid in full by that date, interest will start to accrue from the next day.[4]Requesting written reasons after you have received a written judgment does not change the date of the relevant decision day.[5]Interest will be calculated as simple interest accruing from day to day on any part of the sum of money awarded by the Tribunal that remains unpaid.[6]If the person paying the Tribunal award is required to pay part of it to a public authority by way of tax or National Insurance, no interest is payable on that part.[7]If the Secretary of State has claimed any part of the sum awarded by the Tribunal in a recoupment notice, no interest is payable on that part.[8]If the sum awarded is varied, either because the Tribunal reconsiders its own judgment, or following an appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal or a higher court, interest will still be payable from the calculation day but it will be payable on the new sum not the sum originally awarded.[9]The online information explains how Employment Tribunal awards are enforced. The interest element of an award is enforced in the same way.
