Mrs R Gossage v New Hope Care Ltd: 6006771/2025
JUDGMENT
[1]The claim was presented in the Midlands West Employment Tribunal on 27 February 2025 and was sent to the respondent, to its registered office address, on 14 April 2025. The respondent has failed to present a valid response to the claim on time or at all. Employment Judge Camp has decided that a determination can properly be made of the whole claim in accordance with rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.[2]The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages is well-founded. The Respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s wages during the period 18 November 2024 to 17 January 2025.[3]The respondent also, during the same period, made further unauthorised deductions and/or breached the claimant’s contract by deducting for pension contributions but failing to pay those contributions into the claimant’s pension.[4]The Respondent must pay the Claimant a total sum of £3,541.13, calculated as follows: - £3,561.50 (including pension contributions) less £2,000 paid on 24 January 2025; and - £3,979.63 (including pension contributions) less £2,000 paid on 10 February 2025.[5]Order: If the claimant has been put to expense as a result of the respondent making unauthorised deductions from her wages (as she suggests in her claim form), she must within 14 days provide to the Tribunal (and copied to the respondent) full details of what her losses are, together with any documentary evidence she has to support this part of her claim. If she does not do this, it will be assumed that she is no longer claiming for any such losses, and the Tribunal file will be closed.
