Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNelly Oba presented a claim on 18 March 2020 alleging unlawful deductions from wages, said to relate to payment due on 25 October 2019 for shifts worked on 15, 16 and 17 October 2019. The claim was served on Jayco Recruitment Ltd, but no response was filed by the response date of 21 May 2020.
Applying Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, Employment Judge Sweeney considered whether the available material was sufficient to determine the claim. The judge was satisfied as to the dates of the alleged deduction, the amount deducted, and that the sum was properly payable as wages for hours worked.
The tribunal held that the claim for unlawful deductions in respect of arrears of pay was well founded and succeeded. Jayco Recruitment Ltd was ordered to pay Nelly Oba the gross sum of £271.
