Facts
Mr Larkins worked for CS Home Heat Ltd from 6 February 2023 to 30 July 2024. The respondent failed to pay him wages and overtime for June 2024, totalling £2,900, and did not pay accrued holiday pay of £2,227.50 upon termination. The respondent did not attend the hearing or file any response to the claim.
Decision
The tribunal upheld the claimant's claims for unlawful deduction of wages and accrued holiday pay, awarding a total of £5,127.50. The respondent's failure to attend or respond meant the claims were uncontested and the tribunal accepted the claimant's evidence.
Practical note
Employers who fail to respond to tribunal claims and do not attend hearings risk default judgments for the full amount claimed where the claimant provides credible evidence.
