Claimant v Bella Roma Beckenham Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal upheld the claimant's complaint of unpaid wages. The respondent failed to attend the hearing to contest the claim, and the tribunal was satisfied on the evidence that wages were owed.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's complaint for accrued but untaken annual leave. The respondent did not attend to defend the claim, and the tribunal found the claim proved on the evidence presented.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's claim for unpaid notice pay. The respondent's failure to attend meant the claim was uncontested, and the tribunal found the claimant entitled to notice pay.
Facts
The claimant worked for Bella Roma Beckenham Limited, a hospitality company. The respondent failed to pay the claimant wages, holiday pay, and notice pay. The respondent also failed to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars as required by law. The respondent did not attend the tribunal hearing to defend the claims.
Decision
The tribunal upheld all of the claimant's complaints in the respondent's absence. The claimant was awarded unpaid wages of £1,803.92, holiday pay of £2,009.61, notice pay of £4,166.00, and an award of £3,846.16 for the respondent's failure to provide written employment particulars, totalling £11,825.69.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to attend a hearing and provide evidence, the tribunal can proceed to determine claims based on the claimant's uncontested evidence and award full compensation including statutory awards for failure to provide written particulars.
