Facts
The claimant brought claims against her former employer Kyoobit for unauthorised deductions from wages, breach of contract regarding pension contributions, wrongful dismissal for failure to pay notice, and unpaid holiday entitlement. The respondent stated that no part of the claim was contested.
Decision
The tribunal issued a default judgment under Rule 22 as the respondent did not contest any of the claims. The tribunal awarded the claimant a total of £7,695.74 comprising unpaid wages, pension contributions, notice pay and holiday pay.
Practical note
When a respondent does not contest any part of an employment claim, the tribunal can issue judgment on the papers under Rule 22 without a hearing, awarding all sums claimed.
