JUDGMENT
The respondent has made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and is ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £779.
REASONS
[1]The claimant, Mr John Wells, presented a claim for unpaid wages to the Tribunal on 5 March 2019 in respect of the time he spent working at the Muller & Briggs pub and restaurant at 130 Cadogan Terrace, London E3. He named his employer as Salvatore Rullo. Prior to commencing his claim, he obtained an early conciliation certificate from ACAS dated 5 March 2019 naming Mr Rullo.[2]The Tribunal served the proceedings by sending them to the pub but there was no response and no one has attended today’s hearing on behalf of the respondent. Notice of this hearing was contained in the papers served by the Tribunal.[3]I heard evidence from the claimant. He told me, and I accept, that he worked at the pub between 4 February 2019 and 2 March 2019. He told me, and I also accept, that his agreed hourly rate was £9.50 and that he has not been paid for 82 hours he has worked. I find that this was an unauthorised deduction from wages within section 13 of the Case Number: 3201388/2019 Employment Rights Act 1996 in the sum of £779 gross and the respondent is ordered to pay that sum to the claimant.
