Claimant v Umair Shafiq
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on her claim for unpaid wages. The respondent did not attend the hearing to contest the claim, and the tribunal was satisfied that the claimant was owed unpaid wages.
Facts
Ms. Anisa Rahman brought a claim for unpaid wages against Umair Shafiq. The hearing was conducted remotely by CVP at East London Hearing Centre. The claimant appeared in person to present her case, while the respondent failed to attend the hearing.
Decision
Employment Judge Hallen found in favour of the claimant on her unpaid wages claim and awarded her £2,928.00. The judgment was made following a hearing where the respondent did not attend or defend the claim.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to attend a hearing, the tribunal may still proceed and award unpaid wages to a claimant where the evidence supports the claim.
