The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The tribunal determined under rule 21 that the respondent failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement totalling £1,021.23 gross.
Facts
The claimant J Barrett filed a claim in Bristol Employment Tribunal on 17 May 2025 against two individual respondents, Mr K Donald and Mrs Sue Walker. The respondents failed to present a valid response within the required timeframe. The claim concerned unauthorised deductions from wages totalling £230 and unpaid holiday entitlement of £1,021.23.
Decision
Employment Judge Dawson made a determination under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure, which allows judgments to be issued when a respondent fails to respond. Both claims succeeded and the respondents were ordered to pay the claimant £1,251.23 in total.
Practical note
This is a straightforward default judgment where the respondents' failure to engage with the tribunal process resulted in automatic liability for the wage and holiday pay claims.
