Mr R Rojek v Recruit Works Ltd: 2602691/2019
JUDGMENT
Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 – Rule 21[1]The respondent has made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and is ordered to pay the claimant the net sum of £565.50.[2]The hearing listed on 24th January 2020 is cancelled.REASONS
[1]In his claim from, the claimant has claimed that £565.50 properly due to him in his wages from the respondent was not paid. Whilst it referred to other claims being brought against the end user, this is the only claim against the respondent agency.[2]The sum claimed relates to his entitlement to SSP during a period of sickness absence. Whilst the Employment Tribunal has no jurisdiction to resolve a question of disputed eligibility to SSP, the Respondent has filed a valid ET3 response in which it does not seek to defend the claim.[3]The amount claimed is therefore agreed as owing to the claimant as wages and can properly form the basis of judgment in default.
