Facts
The claimant was dismissed by CB Property Solutions Northern Ltd with employment ending on 31 July 2024. During June and July 2024, the respondent failed to pay the claimant's wages and statutory sick pay. The respondent also failed to pay accrued holiday pay upon termination. The respondent did not attend the hearing.
