Mr Leon Christian v Mr Shaam Randeva — 2025

The claim was presented in the Wales Employment Tribunal on 19 March 2025 and heard by video on 23 May 2025 before Employment Judge S Moore. The respondent did not attend and had failed to present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure. The named respondent employer is Mr Shaam Randeva.

The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £266.08 gross, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance. The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to give the claimant written itemised pay statements as required by section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 between 17 October 2024 and 12 November 2024.

The tribunal further found that at the start of proceedings the respondent was in breach of the duty to provide a written statement of employment particulars. Finding no exceptional circumstances making it unjust or inequitable, and that an award of four weeks' gross pay was not just and equitable, the tribunal made an award equal to two weeks' gross pay (£228.80) under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002. The total sum payable is £494.88.
