The tribunal heard the claim by CVP on 11 July 2024 before Employment Judge Anthony, sitting alone. The claimant appeared in person; the respondent did not attend. The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded, holding that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages for the period 02/11/2023 to 07/12/2023, and ordered payment of the gross sum of £1,116.00, with the claimant responsible for income tax and National Insurance.

The tribunal further ordered the respondent to pay the claimant a net sum of £592.96 in respect of bank loan interest, and a net sum of £5.25 in respect of printing costs, in each case to compensate her for financial loss attributable to the unauthorised deduction from wages pursuant to section 24(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

Reasons for the judgment were given orally at the hearing; written reasons will not be provided unless requested in accordance with the tribunal's standard note.
