Claimant v LA's Community Care Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay wages earned in January 2025 (£700) and February 2025 (£379.46), constituting unauthorised deductions from wages under the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The tribunal found that the claimant had accrued but untaken holiday on termination of employment and the respondent failed to pay the statutory entitlement for this accrued holiday.
Facts
The claimant worked for a community care company and was not paid wages earned in January 2025 (£700) and February 2025 (£379.46). Her employment terminated in February 2025 and she was also not paid for accrued but untaken holiday on termination. The respondent did not participate in the proceedings.
Decision
This was a Rule 22 judgment made without a hearing where the respondent did not respond. The tribunal found both claims well-founded and awarded the claimant £1079.46 for unpaid wages and £574.92 for unpaid holiday pay, totalling £1654.38.
Practical note
Employers who fail to respond to tribunal claims risk default judgments for the full amounts claimed, particularly for straightforward wage and holiday pay claims.
