Miss K Kelly v Legend Group North West Ltd: 2406738/2022
JUDGMENT
The judgment of the Tribunal is that the claimant’s claim for unlawful deduction of wages succeeds and the respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant forthwith the sum of £156.REASONS
[1]The claimant worked for the respondent from 20 June 2022 to 1 July 2022 as a cleaner, working in student accommodation in Liverpool.[2]The claimant was not paid and therefore she contacted her manager, Craig, but received no positive response from him.[3]The claimant contacted ACAS and obtained an early conciliation certificate dated 31 August 2022 and issued proceedings on 1 September 2022 giving the respondent’s address as Unit 4, The Workshops, The Foundry Business Centre, Birkenhead, CH41 1EU.[4]There was no response by the respondent but the claimant knows the respondent received the documentation as an ACAS officer informed her that the respondent’s officers did not wish to negotiate a settlement.[5]The Registered Office of the respondent company is 65 Corporation Road, Birkenhead, CH41 3NG. No documentation has been sent to that office. However, I am satisfied that the respondent’s officers knew of this claim and chose not to serve a response or attend today.[6]The claimant informed me that she was still owed £156 and I consequently order the respondent company to pay that sum forthwith.
