Mrs S Lawrence v Mr Akbar Mohammed T/a Pride Financial: 2421371/2017
JUDGMENT
The respondent made unlawful deductions from the wages of the claimant in respect of her employment from 14 August 2018 to 7 September 2018. The respondent is ordered to pay her the gross sum of £1038.45 net, representing 3 weeks’ pay at her weekly pay of £346.15 (based on £18,000 per annum).REASONS
The respondent failed to present a response to the claim. Whilst the claimant had found new employment and was unable to attend the hearing, she had provided sufficient particulars to enable the award to be made, based upon 3 weeks’ employment from 14 August to 1 September 2017 for which she was not paid. The respondent had made no verbal or written agreement that he could send the claimant home and not pay her if she did not work. The claimant was herself unable to work on 4 September 2017 and her employment ended later that week when no payment of wages outstanding was made into her bank account.
