Claimant v FAMS Group Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the Claimant was not paid salary for February 2024 (£2064) or March 2024 (£2064), amounting to unlawful deductions from wages. The Respondent did not attend to dispute the claim.
The tribunal found that the Claimant was entitled to notice pay for the period 1-10 April 2024, which the Respondent failed to pay. The claim for unpaid notice pay succeeded.
Facts
The Claimant worked for the Respondent from 4 May 2022 to 10 April 2024. The Respondent failed to pay the Claimant's salary for February and March 2024, and also failed to pay notice pay for the period 1-10 April 2024. The Respondent did not attend the hearing to defend the claims.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the Claimant on all claims. The Respondent was ordered to pay £2064 for unpaid February wages, £2064 for unpaid March wages, and £688 for unpaid notice pay (1-10 April 2024), totalling £4816.
Practical note
Where an employer fails to attend a hearing and the claimant presents credible evidence of unpaid wages and notice pay, the tribunal will award judgment in the claimant's favour.
