Facts

Mrs Pentney was employed at St Stephens Pre School CIC. Her employment ended, apparently through redundancy. The respondent failed to pay her statutory redundancy payment of £861.21 and also failed to pay arrears of pay totaling £1,243.98. The respondent did not submit a response to her employment tribunal claim.

Decision

The tribunal held a default judgment hearing by video at which the claimant attended in person but the respondent did not appear. The tribunal found both claims well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay total compensation of £2,105.19.

Practical note

Where a respondent fails to respond to a claim or attend a hearing, the tribunal may enter a default judgment in favor of the claimant for the sums claimed.
