Employment Judge N M HosieDate 18 July 2019

JUDGMENT

The Judgment of the Tribunal is that the claim under s.23 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 is well-founded and the respondent shall pay to the claimant, after Income Tax and National Insurance have been deducted, the sum of Eight Thousand, Eight Hundred and Forty-One Pounds and Sixty-Nine Pence (£8,841.69) as unlawful deductions from wages.

REASONS

[1]At a preliminary hearing on 7 June 2019, Ms Jarvstrat, the Director of the respondent Company confirmed that the sum of £8,842.69 was due to be paid to the claimant in respect of unpaid wages. E.T. Z4 (WR)[2]Ms Jarvstrat further advised that she anticipated being in a position to pay the sum due, “by no later than 18 July 2019”. In light of this, the claimant agreed not to seek a Judgment. However, the sum admittedly due was not paid by that date and at a preliminary hearing on 18 July the claimant requested that a Judgment be issued.[3]As the respondent’s Director had confirmed that the sum was due and had been advised of the likelihood of a Judgment being issued and had not objected, I decided to issue this Judgment.
