Claimant v W.H. Pubco Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal determined that the Respondent unlawfully deducted £577 in wages from the Claimant. The Respondent did not attend to contest the claim, and the tribunal found in the Claimant's favour.
The tribunal determined that the Claimant was entitled to £672.96 in accrued but unpaid holiday pay on termination of employment. The Respondent did not attend to contest the claim, and the tribunal found in the Claimant's favour.
Facts
Mr Steel brought claims for unlawful deduction of wages and holiday pay against his former employer W.H. Pubco Ltd, a hospitality company. The Respondent failed to attend the remedy hearing and was not represented. This was a remedy hearing following an earlier liability determination.
Decision
The tribunal ordered the Respondent to pay £577 in unlawfully deducted wages and £672.96 in unpaid holiday pay on termination, for a total award of £1,249.96. The Respondent's non-attendance meant the claims were uncontested.
Practical note
Employers who fail to engage with tribunal proceedings risk default judgments, and must pay wages and holiday pay entitlements that are clearly owed to former employees.
