Facts
Ms Conning was employed by Austin May Medical Ltd trading as Xander Hendrix Healthcare. Her employment ended, allegedly by reason of redundancy. She was owed unpaid salary from September to December 2024, accrued but untaken holiday pay for 14.8 days, 7 weeks' notice pay, and a statutory redundancy payment. She brought claims for these sums plus unfair dismissal.
Decision
The respondent failed to present a response to the claim. Under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2024, Employment Judge Baty entered judgment in default for the claimant on all claims, awarding the full amount sought of £15,243.54 comprising redundancy pay, holiday pay, unpaid wages and notice pay.
Practical note
Where an employer fails to respond to a claim, the tribunal will enter default judgment under Rule 22 for the full amounts claimed without requiring a hearing.
