Facts
Mr Salah brought claims against Royal Mail for unpaid annual leave, notice pay and wages. The respondent did not participate in the hearing. The claimant appeared in person and provided documentary evidence including payslips, bank statements, screenshots of annual leave entitlement and his contract of employment to support his claims.
Decision
The tribunal accepted the claimant's uncontested evidence and awarded him £6,282.01 representing the total of his claims for annual leave, notice pay and wages. The claim proceeded as a default judgment with oral reasons given at the hearing.
Practical note
Employers who fail to defend claims for statutory payments risk default judgments where claimants can provide basic documentary evidence such as payslips and contracts.
