Withdrawn by claimants during the hearing.

The tribunal found the claims for holiday pay to be well-founded and upheld them. Claimant 1 awarded £404.16 gross and Claimant 2 awarded £137.28 gross, reflecting unpaid accrued holiday entitlement.
The tribunal found the claims for arrears of pay to be well-founded and upheld them. Claimant 1 awarded £442.05 gross and Claimant 2 awarded £400.40 gross, reflecting unpaid wages owed.
Facts
Two claimants, Mrs A Brown and Mrs L Davison, brought claims against their former employer AH Enterprises (Hull) Limited for redundancy payment, unfair dismissal, holiday pay, and arrears of pay. The respondent failed to attend the hearing. Both claimants appeared in person.
Decision
The tribunal upheld the unfair dismissal, holiday pay, and arrears of pay claims for both claimants. The redundancy payment claims were dismissed on withdrawal. Mrs Brown was awarded a total of £14,900.62 and Mrs Davison was awarded a total of £6,781.11, comprising basic awards, compensatory awards for loss of earnings, loss of statutory rights, holiday pay, and arrears of pay.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to attend a hearing, a tribunal may still find in favour of claimants on well-founded claims and make awards based on available evidence, including for unfair dismissal and unlawful deduction of wages.
