Claimant v R Greaves Developments Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of the full amount of the deduction. The respondent did not attend or defend the claim.
The tribunal found that the claimant had accrued but untaken holiday entitlement of 2.46 days at the date of termination and awarded compensation for this untaken leave. The respondent did not attend to contest the claim.
Facts
Mrs King brought claims for unauthorised deduction from wages and unpaid holiday pay against her former employer R Greaves Developments Limited. The respondent failed to attend or defend the claims. The tribunal heard the claimant's evidence regarding the unauthorised deduction of £3,076.90 and her accrued but untaken holiday entitlement of 2.46 days at termination.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on both claims in the absence of any defence from the respondent. The tribunal ordered payment of £3,076.90 for the unauthorised wage deduction and £302.75 for untaken holiday pay.
Practical note
Where an employer fails to attend or defend wage claims, tribunals will award compensation based on the claimant's uncontested evidence of deductions and unpaid entitlements.
