Claimant v Total Home Delivery Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the claim for unauthorised deductions from wages well founded under Employment Rights Act 1996 section 13. The respondent did not present a response and the claimant provided sufficient information to determine the claim on papers under Rule 22.
The tribunal found the claim for notice pay well founded. The claimant had a contractual notice period of two months and was not paid for their notice period. The respondent failed to defend the claim.
The tribunal found the claim for redundancy payment well founded under Employment Rights Act 1996 section 135. The statutory redundancy payment was calculated in accordance with section 162 and awarded to the claimant.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Total Home Delivery Limited with a contractual notice period of two months. The employment terminated, apparently by reason of redundancy. The respondent failed to pay the claimant wages owed, notice pay, and a statutory redundancy payment. The respondent did not present a response to the tribunal claim.
Decision
The tribunal made a default judgment under Rule 22 in favour of the claimant on all claims. Awards were made for unpaid wages (£910.43 gross), notice pay (£3,993.11 net after deduction of benefits received), and statutory redundancy payment (£7,403.40), totaling £12,306.94.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to present a response, tribunals can and will make default judgments on the papers under Rule 22, awarding full statutory and contractual entitlements where the claimant provides sufficient information.
