Outcome

Claimant succeeds£5,053

Individual claims

Unlawful Deduction from Wagessucceeded

The tribunal found that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimants' wages by failing to pay wages which were due to them on 28th June 2025. The respondent did not attend the hearing and the claimants proved their entitlement to unpaid wages.

Holiday Paysucceeded

The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay the claimants their accrued holiday pay under the Working Time Regulations, which constituted unauthorised deductions from wages. The respondent did not attend to contest the claims.

Facts

Seven claimants brought claims against DnormanD Limited for unpaid wages and accrued holiday pay. The respondent failed to pay wages due on 28th June 2025 and failed to pay accrued holiday pay under the Working Time Regulations. Four claimants attended the remote video hearing at Carlisle, self-represented, with Miss C Gregory also representing three absent claimants. The respondent did not attend the hearing.

Decision

The tribunal found for the claimants on all claims. The respondent was ordered to pay a total of £5,052.65 across seven claimants, comprising unpaid wages totalling £2,997.53 and holiday pay totalling £2,055.12. One duplicate claim was dismissed on withdrawal.

Practical note

When an employer fails to pay wages and accrued holiday pay and does not attend the tribunal hearing, unrepresented employees can succeed in proving their claims and obtaining judgment for all amounts due.
