Claimant v Ronnan Corporation (Eco) Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The tribunal determined under rule 21 that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £1,300 gross.
The complaint was well-founded. The respondent failed to pay the claimant in accordance with regulation 16(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998. The tribunal ordered payment of £450 gross as a further unauthorised deduction from wages.
Facts
C Hall brought claims for unauthorised deduction from wages and holiday pay against Ronnan Corporation (Eco) Ltd in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 7 May 2025. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, resulting in a rule 21 default judgment.
Decision
Employment Judge M Butler determined the claims on the papers under rule 21. Both claims succeeded. The respondent was ordered to pay £1,300 for unauthorised deductions from wages and £450 for holiday pay under the Working Time Regulations 1998, totalling £1,750 gross.
Practical note
Rule 21 allows tribunals to issue default judgments where respondents fail to present timely responses, protecting claimants' rights to wages and holiday pay even without a defended hearing.
