Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge made a determination under Rule 21 that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages totalling £1124.50 gross.
Facts
Mrs K Viccars brought a claim against Aaron Mohamed and Pauline Mohamed alleging unauthorised deductions from her wages totalling £1124.50 gross. The claim was issued on 19 July 2024 at Watford Employment Tribunal. The respondents failed to present a valid response within the required timeframe.
Decision
The Employment Judge determined the claim under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, which allows for a default judgment when a respondent fails to present a valid response on time. The tribunal found in favour of the claimant and ordered the respondents to pay £1124.50 gross for unauthorised deductions from wages.
Practical note
Employers who fail to respond to employment tribunal claims risk default judgment being entered against them, resulting in automatic liability for the amounts claimed.
