Claimant v Akoom Technologies Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages for the period 1 December to 8 December 2023 (inclusive). The claimant was entitled to six days' wages at a gross daily rate of £115.38, totalling £692.28.
The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken when employment ended. The claimant had accrued 11.91 days of untaken holiday, which the tribunal rounded to 12 days for calculation purposes, totalling £1384.56 at the daily rate of £115.38.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Akoom Technologies Limited, a technology company, until 8 December 2023. The claimant was not paid for the period 1 to 8 December 2023, representing six days of work at a daily rate of £115.38. At the end of employment, the claimant had accrued 11.91 days of untaken holiday pay. The respondent did not attend the hearing to contest the claims.
Decision
The tribunal found both complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £692.28 for unpaid wages for six days and £1384.56 for untaken accrued holiday (12 days), totalling £2076.84 gross, with the claimant responsible for any tax and National Insurance.
Practical note
When a respondent fails to attend a hearing and does not contest a claim for unpaid wages and holiday pay, the tribunal will make a default judgment in the claimant's favour based on the evidence presented.
