Claimant v The Clean Property Company MCR Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the second respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages for work done between 11 and 20 May 2024. The respondents failed to present a valid response on time, leading to a default judgment under Rule 22.
Facts
The claimant worked for the respondent(s) in May 2024 and performed cleaning work between 11 and 20 May 2024, totalling 32.5 hours at £12 per hour and 4 hours at £20 per hour. She was not paid for this work. The respondents failed to submit a valid response to the claim on time.
Decision
The tribunal made a default judgment under Rule 22 in favour of the claimant against the second respondent, Lauren Matthews, who was found to be the claimant's employer. The tribunal awarded £470.00 gross for unauthorised deductions from wages. The claim against the first respondent was dismissed.
Practical note
Failure to present a valid response in time can result in a default judgment, and tribunals will make determinations based on the claimant's evidence alone where appropriate.
