Claimant v Hideout Scot Ltd — 2021

The tribunal issued a rule 21 judgment because the respondent presented no response and the decision was made on the material in the claimant's ET1. It found an unauthorised deduction from wages in respect of April, June and July 2021. For April, the claimant should have received £1,354.32 but received £781.31, leaving £573.01 due. For June, the claimant should have received £1,276.50 but received £781.31, leaving £495.19 due. For July, the claimant should have received £511 and received nothing. The tribunal ordered payment of £1,579.20 in respect of those wage deductions.

The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,026.56. On the unfair dismissal complaint, the tribunal dismissed the claim because the claimant did not have the two years' service needed to qualify for unfair dismissal protection under section 108(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

The judgment was entered on 23 December 2021 and is dated 15 December 2021. No separate findings on compensation, interest, or other remedies are recorded beyond the two sums awarded for wages and holiday entitlement.
