1. Mr C Birdi 2. Mr H Gill v JS Property Management Solutions Ltd. — 2023

The tribunal sat in Birmingham by CVP on 13 February 2023 before Employment Judge Connolly sitting alone. The respondent did not attend or present a response, and the judgment records that the claim was not contested. The tribunal first decided that it was not reasonably practicable for either claimant to present their claim within the statutory time period in the circumstances of the case, and that the claims were presented within a reasonable period thereafter, so they were permitted to proceed.

On the merits, the tribunal found that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from Mr C Birdi’s wages for the period 11 October 2021 to 29 December 2021. It ordered the respondent to pay him £1,241.20 in respect of those deductions.

The tribunal made the same finding for Mr H Gill, holding that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from his wages for the same period. It ordered payment of £1,458.35 in respect of those deductions. The tribunal also found that the respondent failed to pay Mr Gill for holiday accrued but not taken at the termination of his employment, and ordered payment of £169.95 for 20.7 hours of accrued holiday.

The judgment states that the sums are payable gross and that each claimant is responsible for any income tax or employee national insurance contributions payable on them. No other remedy is recorded in the judgment.
