Tilen Terzan v Two Doors One T Limited — 2024

The case was heard by CVP at East London Hearing Centre on 12 December 2024 before Employment Judge Serr, with the respondent not attending. The tribunal upheld the claimant Tilen Terzan's complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages, finding that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction in February 2024 amounting to 66 hours. It ordered the respondent to pay £858, described as the gross sum deducted, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance.

The tribunal also upheld the claimant's breach of contract complaint in relation to notice pay. It ordered the respondent to pay £1,664 as damages for breach of contract, stating that the figure had been calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay.

A separate holiday pay complaint was also found well-founded. The tribunal held that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay the claimant for holidays taken on the date his employment ended but remained unpaid. It ordered payment of £416, again noting that the claimant was responsible for any tax or National Insurance.
