Facts
Ms R. Chase brought claims against Hamble Catering Ltd for unpaid wages, accrued but untaken holiday pay, and notice pay. The respondent failed to enter a response to the claim. The case was determined on the papers in chambers without a hearing.
Decision
The tribunal found all three claims well-founded in the respondent's absence. The respondent was ordered to pay £972.62 net unpaid wages, £206.02 net holiday pay, and £442.08 net notice pay, totaling £1,620.72, plus any tax and national insurance liability.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to enter a response, a tribunal may make a default judgment awarding all claimed sums if satisfied it has sufficient information, without requiring a hearing.
