Claimant v Efficiency Health and Home Care Services Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The Tribunal found that the Respondent owed the Claimant outstanding net wages totalling £4,546.21 for three separate pay periods (July, July-August, and September 2024). The Respondent failed to attend the hearing to contest the claim. The claim under s.13 Employment Rights Act 1996 was therefore well-founded.
Facts
Miss Kuture worked for Efficiency Health and Home Care Services Limited, a healthcare company. The Respondent failed to pay her wages for three separate pay periods in July, July-August, and September 2024, totalling £4,546.21 in net wages owed. The Respondent did not attend the hearing to contest the claim.
Decision
The Tribunal found the claim for unpaid wages under s.13 Employment Rights Act 1996 was well-founded. The Respondent was ordered to pay the Claimant the total sum of £4,546.21 without deduction. The Respondent's failure to attend the hearing meant the claim was uncontested.
Practical note
Employers who fail to pay wages and do not defend claims at tribunal will face judgment in default, with full amounts owed ordered to be paid to the employee.
