Claimant v Dunfermline Care Home Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the claim for holiday pay to be well-founded and awarded the claimant the full sum claimed of £764.47, representing unpaid holiday entitlement owed by the respondent.
The claim for expenses was withdrawn by the claimant and therefore dismissed by the tribunal.
Facts
Mr Athanaselis brought claims against his former employer Dunfermline Care Home Limited for holiday pay and expenses. The respondent did not attend or participate in the hearing held remotely via CVP. The claimant represented himself at the tribunal.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claim for expenses as it was withdrawn by the claimant. The holiday pay claim was found to be well-founded and the respondent was ordered to pay £764.47 to the claimant.
Practical note
Employers who fail to attend tribunal hearings risk default judgments on well-founded claims, particularly for straightforward statutory entitlements like holiday pay.
