Facts
Mr Todd was employed by Renfrew Transport Services Ltd and was dismissed by reason of redundancy. The respondent failed to pay unpaid wages for 72 hours, failed to provide notice pay for the 10-week notice period, failed to pay statutory redundancy, and failed to pay accrued holiday entitlement of 13 days. The respondent did not present a response to the claim.
Decision
The tribunal issued a default judgment under rule 22 as no response was presented. The claimant succeeded on all four claims: unlawful deduction of wages (£823.68), notice pay (£4,576.00), statutory redundancy payment (£4,576.00), and holiday pay (£1,229.15), totaling £11,204.83.
Practical note
Employers who fail to respond to tribunal claims face default judgments on the available material, and must pay all statutory entitlements including notice, redundancy, accrued holiday, and any wage arrears.
