Claimant v Jamie Crowther
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the claim of unauthorised deduction from wages to be well-founded. The respondent failed to appear to contest the claim. The claimant successfully demonstrated that wages were unlawfully withheld.
The tribunal found the claim for outstanding annual leave to be well-founded. The respondent failed to appear to defend the claim. The claimant proved entitlement to unpaid holiday pay.
Facts
The claimant brought claims for unauthorised deduction from wages and outstanding annual leave pay against Jamie Crowther. The respondent failed to appear at the hearing held by CVP video link. The claimant was represented by his mother, Ms S Bower. The tribunal heard oral reasons at the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal found both claims well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £1,656.25 for unauthorised deduction from wages and £780.00 for outstanding holiday pay, totalling £2,436.25. The respondent's non-appearance meant the claims were uncontested.
Practical note
Non-attendance by a respondent at tribunal allows well-presented claims for unpaid wages and holiday pay to succeed by default where the claimant can prove their entitlement.
