Two men who quit software development firm Geeks Ltd failed to prove the company unlawfully withheld more than £2,000 from each of them to claw back its training costs, a tribunal has ruled.
The duo, named by the London South Employment Tribunal as Mr Bennett and Mr Day, both left the South London firm in 2019 after spending about two years working there.
Both claimed, in echoes of another tribunal case against Sparta Global, that Geeks had unlawfully withheld thousands from their final paycheques for unjustifiable training costs – but Employment Judge Corinna Ferguson ruled that the company acted correctly.
