Mr L Boateng-Bailey v Pierpoint International (UK) Ltd: 6015994/2025
JUDGMENT
The Respondent did not submit a Response in time or make an application for an extension of time to submit the Response. As a consequence Employment Tribunal Rule 22 applies, and:[1]The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages is well-founded. The respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the period from 6 January 2025 to 20 February 2025. The respondent shall pay the claimant £3,839.25, which is the gross sum deducted. This figure has been calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant will have to pay tax on it as earnings.[2]The complaint of breach of contract in relation to unpaid expenses of £33.50 net in relation to mobile phone costs and 3% of gross pay pension payments totalling £135.27 is well-founded. The respondent shall pay the claimant £168.77 as damages for breach of contract. Case Number: 6015994/2025[3]The total sum that the Respondent must pay to the Claimant is therefore £4,008.02 and the Claimant is responsible for the payment of any tax or National Insurance due.
