Claimant v Goldstar Corporate Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the Respondent made unauthorised deductions from wages by failing to pay the Claimant during the course of his employment. The Respondent did not attend to defend the claim.
The Claimant's claim under regulation 14 Working Time Regulations 1998 succeeded. The tribunal found the Claimant was entitled to payment for accrued but untaken holiday at termination of employment.
Facts
The Claimant was employed by Goldstar Corporate Limited. During the course of his employment, the Respondent failed to pay the Claimant wages to which he was entitled. The employment terminated and the Claimant had accrued but untaken holiday leave. The Respondent did not attend the hearing to defend the claims.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the Claimant on both claims. The Respondent was ordered to pay £1,015.39 for unauthorised deductions from wages and £230.78 for unpaid accrued holiday pay under regulation 14 Working Time Regulations 1998, totalling £1,246.17 gross.
Practical note
Default judgments can be obtained where a respondent fails to attend a hearing, and claimants can succeed on claims for unpaid wages and accrued holiday pay even when unrepresented.
