Claimant v Mida Bros Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal was satisfied on the evidence that the claimant had not been paid for her November 2024 wages (£2,183.64 net) nor for the one week's notice which she worked as per her contract (£546.00 net). The respondent did not attend or defend the claim.
Facts
The claimant worked as a Pizza Chef for the respondent from October to December 2024, resigning and working one week's notice. She was paid late for October 2024 but never received payment for November 2024 wages or for her final week's notice worked. She attempted to contact the respondent by phone, messaging and in person but received no response. The respondent did not enter a response to the claim and did not appear at the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal found the claim for unlawful deduction of wages well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £2,729.64 net comprising £2,183.64 for unpaid November wages and £546.00 for one week's notice pay worked. The respondent failed to defend the claim.
Practical note
Default judgments can be obtained where employers fail to respond to claims, but claimants must still prove their case with documentary evidence such as contracts and payslips.
