JUDGMENT
[1]The claims were presented in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 13th March 2025. The respondent has failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge has decided that a determination can properly be made of the claim, or part of it, in accordance with rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure. Wages[2]The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages is well-founded. The respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the period 15th October 2024 to 6th January 2025.[3]The respondent shall pay the claimant £2,737.28 (£195.52 per week x 14 weeks) for the period worked from 15th October 2024 to 6th January 2025) which is the gross sum deducted. The claimant is responsible for the payment of any tax or National Insurance not deducted by the respondent. Total Award[4]The respondent must pay the claimant £2,737.28 in total.[5]No award is made for additional compensation sought by the claimant, as the Tribunal has no jurisdiction to award such compensation in the circumstances.

[1]The claimant complains of unfair dismissal.[2]Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have not less than two years service to make an unfair dismissal complaint.[3]The claimant was employed by the respondent for less than two years.[4]Therefore the claimant is not entitled to bring such a complaint.[5]The claimant has failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out.[6]Accordingly, the complaint of unfair dismissal is struck out. The claimant’s other complaints are not affected by this judgment. Approved by
