Miss B Louw v Marshall Eaton Holdings Ltd: 3301903/2023
JUDGMENT
[1]The complaint of unauthorised deductions from pay contrary to Part II Employment Rights Act 1996 is well-founded. The respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s pay in respect of:a. Unpaid wages for 3 months from 1 November 2022 until 28 January 2023. The respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the gross sum of £13,499.98 (gross).b. The claimant’s pension contributions deducted from her salary that were not paid into NEST for the period of November 2021 until August 2022. The respondent is ordered to pay £1384.04 (gross).[2]In addition, the respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the net sum of £894.40 to compensate the claimant for financial loss sustained by her in the form of interest incurred from a loan she obtained to repay money she borrowed to make mortgage and bill payments. I find that this is attributable to the unauthorised deduction pursuant to section 24(2) Employment Rights Act 1996.[3]The claim in relation to unpaid notice pay is not well founded and does not succeed as the Claimant did not work her notice period. Case No: 3301903/2023[4]The claim in relation to interest on unpaid wages does not succeed as it is outside of the tribunal’s jurisdiction.
