Facts
The claimant, I Korwek, brought a claim for unlawful deduction of wages against Madinska & Co. Ltd. The respondent failed to present a valid response within the required time period. The claimant was owed gross wages totalling £6,300.51 for two pay periods: July 2024 (£2,883.84) and August 2024 (£3,416.67).
Decision
Employment Judge Cookson made a default judgment under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, finding the respondent liable for unauthorised deductions from wages. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £6,300.51 gross, representing unpaid wages for July and August 2024.
Practical note
Default judgments under Rule 22 are an effective remedy when employers fail to defend wage claims, allowing tribunals to determine claims on the papers without a hearing.
