Mr C Ward v Reid Homes Developments Limited — 2022

The claim was issued on 2 March 2022 and the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore determined the claim under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. No hearing findings on disputed evidence are recorded in the judgment; the decision is made on the basis that the claim could properly be determined in the respondent's absence.

The tribunal found that Reid Homes Developments Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages by not paying salary and car allowance for November 2021. It ordered the respondent to pay Mr C Ward the gross sum of £6,916.67 for that deduction.

The tribunal also found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday entitlement. It ordered payment of the gross sum of £2,596.14. The judgment states that any gross sums are to be paid less appropriate deductions for tax and national insurance, and that the awarded sums must be paid within 14 days of the date of judgment. The total monetary award recorded by the judgment is £9,512.81.
