Facts
Dallas Macklin worked for West End Galleries Ltd and was paid £12.21 per hour. Between July and August 2025, the Claimant worked 87.1 hours but was not paid wages totalling £1,063.49. The Respondent also failed to pay 1 day's accrued but untaken holiday pay of £66.51. The Respondent failed to file an ET3 response within the deadline and did not request an extension of time.
Decision
Employment Judge Brown determined the claim under Rule 22 without a hearing, as the Respondent had not entered a defence. The tribunal upheld the claims for unpaid wages and holiday pay, ordering the Respondent to pay £1,130.00 in total and to account to HMRC for any tax and National Insurance due.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to file an ET3, a tribunal can enter judgment in favour of the claimant under Rule 22 based solely on the ET1 and supporting documents, without the need for a hearing.
