E.T. Z4 (WR)REASONS
[1]The claimant, Keith Docherty, brought a claim for unlawful deduction from his wages. His claim was not defended. The respondent Company had intimated that his claim was not disputed.[2]I heard evidence from Mr Docherty at the Hearing. He gave his evidence in a measured, consistent and convincing manner and presented as credible and reliable.[3]I am satisfied that he was employed by the respondent Company as a Senior Sales Executive from 1 February 2022 until 28 April 2023.[4]He was given one month’s notice of the termination of his employment. at the beginning of April 2023. He worked his notice but he was not paid his wages for that month, despite his requests.[5]I am satisfied that he was entitled to wages of £3,416 for that month, subject to the appropriate deductions for income and national insurance. A Judgment is issued to that effect.
