Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant for holiday accrued but untaken on termination of employment. The respondent did not present a response and the tribunal was satisfied on the claimant's evidence that the claim was well founded under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment under section 135 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The respondent did not present a response and the tribunal was satisfied on the claimant's evidence that the claim was well founded and calculated the payment in accordance with section 162.
Facts
The claimant Dean Johnston brought claims for unauthorised deductions from wages and redundancy pay against his former employer Total Home Delivery Limited. The respondent did not file a response to the claim. The claimant provided further information to the tribunal which enabled a determination on the papers under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2024.
Decision
The tribunal issued a default judgment in favour of the claimant. The respondent was ordered to pay £1,526.30 for accrued but untaken holiday pay and £6,300.00 in statutory redundancy pay, calculated under section 162 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to present a response, a tribunal can make a default judgment on the papers under rule 22 if the claimant provides sufficient information to establish the claim.
