Claimant v Captain America's Hamburger Heaven Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent conceded owing 80 hours of minimum wage at £7.55 per hour to the claimant. The tribunal made a judgment awarding the claimant £604 in unpaid wages.
The respondent admitted failing to pay the national minimum wage of £7.55 per hour for 80 hours worked. The tribunal accepted this concession and ordered payment.
Facts
The claimant worked for the respondent, a hamburger restaurant, and was owed wages. The respondent conceded that they owed the claimant 80 hours of minimum wage at £7.55 per hour. Neither the claimant nor her father (who was representing her) attended the hearing on 5 August 2025.
Decision
The tribunal accepted the respondent's concession and ordered them to pay the claimant £604 in unpaid wages, representing 80 hours at the national minimum wage rate of £7.55 per hour.
Practical note
Even where a claimant fails to attend a hearing, if the respondent concedes liability, the tribunal will enter judgment for the claimant on the conceded amount.
