Mr A Somoye v Omnia Protect Ltd — 2022

Judge Moxon found that Mr A Somoye was an employee of Omnia Protect Limited. The respondent did not attend and was not represented at the hearing on 11 January 2022. The tribunal upheld the claimant's claim for an unauthorised deduction from wages in respect of June 2021, finding that the respondent had failed to pay the full amount due. The judgment records that the claimant's annual salary was £22,650, which equated to £1,887.50 for the month, less £360 paid, leaving £1,527.50 outstanding.

The tribunal also upheld the claim for an unauthorised deduction from wages in respect of untaken annual leave on termination. It found that the claimant had accrued 14 days' holiday between 1 January 2021 and 30 June 2021, had taken 8 days, and therefore had 6 days accrued but untaken. Applying a daily rate of £87.12, the tribunal ordered payment of £522.72 gross for that entitlement. The written record does not indicate any separate award for interest or other remedy components.
