Claimant v Trove Wilmslow Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to £1,609.83 gross for the period 5 May 2024 to 2 June 2024 but was only paid £700, resulting in an unauthorised deduction of £909.83. The respondent did not attend or contest the claim.
The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay the claimant for 28 days of accrued but untaken holiday at the termination of employment. Based on a week's pay of £285.03 gross, the claimant was entitled to £1,596.17 gross in holiday pay.
The tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to one week's notice of termination which she did not receive. The respondent was ordered to pay one week's pay of £285.03 gross as notice pay.
Facts
Miss Malek was employed by Trove Wilmslow Ltd until 2 June 2024. During her final period of employment from 5 May 2024 to 2 June 2024, she was entitled to £1,609.83 gross in wages but was only paid £700. She was not paid for 28 days of accrued but untaken holiday at termination, and was not given her statutory one week's notice. The respondent did not attend the hearing and had not filed a response.
Decision
The tribunal made a default judgment under Rule 22 in favor of the claimant. All three claims succeeded: unlawful deduction of wages (£909.83), holiday pay (£1,596.17), and notice pay (£285.03), for a total award of £2,635.80 gross. The claimant is responsible for any tax or National Insurance on these amounts.
Practical note
Employers who fail to respond to tribunal claims face default judgments awarding full compensation for unpaid wages, holiday pay, and notice pay based on payslip evidence.
