A Keegan v Baltic Bakehouse Ltd (In Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation): 6018333/2025
JUDGMENT
[1]The claim was presented in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 16 May 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 in accordance with rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.[2]The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages is well-founded. The respondent has made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s wages and must pay the claimant £981.25 gross.[3]The claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and the respondent must pay damages to the claimant of £2,307.50. This has been calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant will have to pay tax on it as ‘Post Employment Notice Pay’.[4]The respondent has failed to pay the claimant’s accrued but untaken annual leave entitlement on termination of employment and is ordered to pay the gross sum of £656.25.[5]The respondent must therefore pay the claimant £3,945.00 in total.[6]The claimant will be responsible for paying any tax liabilities arising out of the gross award if they receive the gross figure and tax is not deducted from source.
