The tribunal awarded the claimant statutory redundancy payment of £616.60. This was a default judgment with the respondent not attending to contest the claim.
The tribunal found the claimant entitled to payment for two weeks' notice which had not been provided, amounting to £411.07 gross. The respondent failed to attend and the claim was unopposed.
The tribunal found an unauthorised deduction from wages under Section 23 ERA 1996 for work undertaken between 1 and 26 March 2025, awarding £761.32 gross. The respondent did not attend to defend the claim.
Facts
The claimant was employed by a pre-school community interest company until her employment ended on 26 March 2025. She was made redundant and was owed notice pay and wages for work undertaken between 1 and 26 March 2025. The respondent failed to attend the telephone hearing.
Decision
The tribunal entered a default judgment in favour of the claimant, awarding redundancy pay of £616.60, two weeks' notice pay of £411.07 gross, and unpaid wages of £761.32 gross for work done in March 2025, totalling £1,788.99.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to attend a hearing and a claimant presents evidence of basic statutory entitlements including redundancy, notice and unpaid wages, the tribunal will enter judgment in the claimant's favour.
