Claimant v Signorelli Deli Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claimant had suffered an unlawful deduction from her wages. The respondent did not attend to contest the claim and the tribunal was satisfied based on the claimant's evidence that wages were properly due and owing.
The tribunal found that the claimant had suffered an unlawful deduction in respect of holiday pay. The respondent did not attend to contest the claim and the tribunal was satisfied based on the claimant's evidence that holiday pay was properly due.
Facts
The claimant, Ms La Ganga, brought claims for unlawful deduction of wages and holiday pay against Signorelli Deli Limited. She attended the hearing in person with her husband and with the assistance of an Italian interpreter. The respondent employer did not attend the hearing to contest the claims.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on both claims for unlawful deduction of wages and holiday pay. The respondent was ordered to pay £743.60 in unpaid wages and holiday pay, subject to tax and national insurance deductions. The respondent's non-attendance meant the claims were uncontested.
Practical note
Employers who fail to attend tribunal hearings risk default judgments being entered against them where the claimant's evidence satisfies the tribunal that the claims are well-founded.
