Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages of one week's pay. The respondent failed to enter a response and the claimant produced supporting contract and documents relating to her losses.
The claimant was dismissed without notice. The tribunal found the claim for wrongful dismissal well-founded based on the contract of employment and documents produced by the claimant. The respondent failed to defend the claim.
The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction by failing to pay the claimant for 8 hours of accrued but untaken holiday on termination. The claim was well-founded as the respondent failed to enter a response.
Facts
The claimant was employed by the respondent, a catering and events company. She was dismissed without notice and claims the respondent failed to pay her one week's wages, notice pay, and holiday pay for 8 hours accrued but untaken. The respondent failed to enter a response to the claim.
Decision
The tribunal found all three claims well-founded under Rule 22 (default judgment). The respondent was ordered to pay £144.95 for unauthorised wage deductions, £383.83 for notice pay, and £91.52 for unpaid holiday pay, totalling £620.30 net.
Practical note
A default judgment will be entered against a respondent who fails to enter a response, with the tribunal accepting the claimant's evidence of contractual entitlements and losses at face value.
