Mr L King v Fylde Sports UK Ltd: 2408110/2020
JUDGMENT
[1]The claimant’s complaint that there was an unauthorised deduction from his wages is well-founded. The respondent unlawfully deducted the gross sum of £771.81 and is ordered to pay this sum to the claimant subject to such deductions as it is required to make for tax and national insurance. [This sum is calculated as follows: the claimant’s daily pay was £86.25 gross and £69.75 net. The respondent paid the claimant the net sum of £977.19 in April 2020. This consisted of 9 days net wages up to and including 13 April amounting to £627.75, and a further sum of £349.44 for the remainder of April. The claimant was employed up to and including 30 April. There were 13 working days between 14 April and 30 April for which the claimant was not fully paid his salary. 13 days gross salary amounts to £1,121.25; take away the £349.44 paid by the respondent, results in a balance of £771.81 gross.][2]The respondent was in breach of contract by dismissing the claimant without giving him one calendar month’s notice, and is ordered to pay the claimant damages in the gross sum of £1,868.75 subject to such deductions as it is required to make for tax and national insurance.[3]The claimant is entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,293.75. The respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the sum of £1,293.75, being three weeks’ gross salary at the rate of £431.25 per week.
