Claimant v Renaissance Personnel Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a response to the claim and did not attend the hearing. The tribunal accepted the claimant's evidence regarding unpaid wages, holiday pay, and notice pay, and found in her favour on all elements.
Facts
The claimant worked for a recruitment agency and was owed wages for 1,600 hours at £11.95 per hour, holiday pay, and four weeks' notice pay. The respondent failed to present a response or attend the hearing. The claimant had received £1,000, which was deducted from the total owed.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on her unlawful deduction of wages claim. The respondent was ordered to pay £27,240, representing unpaid wages, holiday pay, and notice pay, minus the £1,000 already received.
Practical note
Default judgments can be obtained where respondents fail to engage, but claimants must still provide credible evidence of the sums owed.
