JUDGMENT
[1]The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages is well-founded. The respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages.[2]The respondent shall pay the claimant £1,576.31, which is the gross sum deducted. The claimant is responsible for the payment of any tax or National Insurance. This sum is comprised of amounts which the parties agreed would be due to the Claimant if there was a finding that the Claimant was entitled to a pay increase to salary band B3 on the first anniversary of the start of her employment (17 June 2023) being:a. £1,000.83 in respect deductions made from her salary when the Respondent decided that she had erroneously been moved to B3 on the pay scale.b. £70.88 for the period 16 June 2023 – 8 February 2024 because the Claimant was entitled to move to B3 on the payscale on 17 June 2023 but the Respondent erroneously increased her salary to £37,250 rather than £37,362 (this was in turn because of an erroneous grade code change); 1 of 2 Case Number: 6029371/2025c. £504.60 because the Claimant was moved back down to the lower B2 pay rate on 15 March 2024 and therefore suffered unlawful deductions from her wages between that date and 31 May 2024 (the date on which she achieved promotion to a higher paid Asset Engineer role.)[3]There is no assertion of financial loss attributable to the unauthorised deduction.
