Facts

The claimant was employed by DAPV Limited until 30 August 2024. During her employment from January to August 2024, the respondent failed to pay her salary, failed to pay for accrued but untaken holiday, and failed to make pension contributions. The respondent accepted liability for these claims at a preliminary hearing held by video.

Decision

The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on all three determined claims: unpaid wages (£16,473.88), unpaid holiday pay (£1,266.67), and unpaid pension contributions (£1,168.67), for a total award of £18,909.22. Two claims remain outstanding: unfair constructive dismissal and a claim regarding an unpaid tax rebate.

Practical note

Where a respondent accepts liability for wage deductions, holiday pay, and contractual breaches, the tribunal will make judgment accordingly while preserving other outstanding claims for future determination.
