Outcome
Individual claims

The respondent made unauthorised deductions from wages totalling £12,224.89, comprising unpaid wages for January and February 2025 (£10,312.50) and unpaid commission (£1,912.30).
The tribunal found the complaint well-founded under rule 22. The respondent failed to pay the claimant's annual leave entitlement that had accrued but not been taken on the date employment ended, amounting to £1,730.76.
Facts
The claimant Mr E Moore brought claims against Chatloop Ltd for unauthorised deductions from wages and unpaid holiday pay. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time to the claims. The claimant was owed unpaid wages for January and February 2025 totalling £10,312.50, unpaid commission of £1,912.30, and accrued but untaken holiday pay of £1,730.76.
Decision
The tribunal determined the claims under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2024, as the respondent had not presented a valid response. Both claims were found to be well-founded and the respondent was ordered to pay the total sum of £13,955.65.
Practical note
Employers who fail to respond to tribunal claims face default judgments under rule 22, resulting in awards being made against them without consideration of any defence.
