Respondent failed to present a response on time. Default judgment entered under rule 21. Holiday pay awarded to T Griffiths, J Jenner, and Surdeep Singh as claimed on their claim forms.
Facts
Multiple claimants brought claims against 3RiO Group Limited for unauthorised deductions from wages and, in some cases, unpaid holiday pay. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time to any of the claims. The tribunal entered default judgments under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, awarding the amounts claimed on the claim forms for unauthorised wage deductions and holiday pay where specified.
Decision
The tribunal awarded the amounts claimed by eleven claimants for unauthorised deductions from wages, with additional holiday pay awards for three claimants. One claimant's claim was dismissed for failure to provide information about amounts claimed. Judgments for three further claimants were deferred pending further information. Total awards ranged from £1,111.80 to £4,469.00 per claimant.
Practical note
Default judgments under rule 21 will be entered where respondents fail to respond on time, with awards limited to amounts specifically claimed on the claim form rather than subsequently increased amounts.
