Mr L Schofield v Rocketfish Ltd: 2404211/2017
JUDGMENT
[1]The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages is well founded.[2]The respondent is ordered to pay the claimant the sum of £2,072.18 by or before 21 December 2017REASONS
[1]By a claim presented to the Tribunal on 30 August 2017 the claimant brought a complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages. The respondent resisted the claim but set out no reasoned basis for doing so.[2]At the outset of this hearing Mr Payne accepted that the claimant was owed wages by the respondent. He did not dispute that the calculation which the claimant had presented showing wages owed of £2,072.18.[3]For that reason I gave judgment for the claimant in that sum.[4]When I asked Mr Payne when the sum could be paid to the claimant he told me that he thought his business was “going under”. In those circumstances I considered it appropriate that payment should be made without further delay and ordered that payment to be made within 7 days of the date of hearing. The respondent did not object.
