Mr R Forde v Pinnacle Finance and Property Group Ltd: 6022431/2024
JUDGMENT
[1]The Respondent made the following unlawful deductions from the Claimant’s wages in relation to salary payments payable in August 2024 – November 2024 (inclusive) because the wages were not paid: August 2024: £2092.51 (net) September 2024: £2092.71 (net) October 2024: £2092.51(net) November 2024: £2092.71 (net) Total : £8370.44 (net) Case Number: 6022431/2024[2]The Respondent made the following unlawful deductions from the Claimant’s wages in relation to commission payments payable in August 2024 – October 2024 (inclusive) because the commission was not paid: August 2024: £851.56 (net) September 2024: £1121.16 (net) October 2024: £878.96 (net) Total: £2851.68 (net) TOTAL 1 + 2 = £11,222.12 (net) (payable within 14 days under Rule 64 Tribunal Rules 2024).[3]The Claimant claimed that the interest on his student loan repayments has increased because of a failure by the Respondent to account to the Student Loan Company for his student loan repayments. That is not a financial loss attributable to the non-payment of the Claimant’s wages and so cannot be considered under s24(2) Employment Rights Act 1996 as additional financial loss.[4]The Claimant also brought a claim for breach of contract in relation to employee pension contributions deducted from his pay but not passed on to the pension provider and employer contributions not made by the Respondnent on his behalf. The Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to decide a breach of contract claim unless the employment has terminated and at the time of presentation of this claim the Claimant’s employment had not terminated.
