Claimant v Lunar Health Clubs Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent did not present a response. The tribunal found the claim well founded under Employment Rights Act 1996 section 13 based on the information provided in the claim form. The claimant was awarded unpaid wages for July and August 2024 plus an agreed lay off payment.
The tribunal awarded £933.39 for accrued but untaken holiday pay. This was determined on the papers under rule 22 as the respondent did not respond to the claim.
Facts
The claimant worked for Lunar Health Clubs Ltd and was owed unpaid wages for work done in July 2024 (£2,333.33) and August 2024 (£116.67), plus an agreed lay off payment of £190 in August 2024. The claimant also had accrued but untaken holiday pay of £933.39. The respondent company entered voluntary liquidation and did not respond to the claim.
Decision
The tribunal made a default judgment under rule 22 in favour of the claimant for unlawful deductions from wages and holiday pay, totalling £3,573.39 gross. The respondent failed to present a response and the tribunal was satisfied from the claim form that the claims were well founded.
Practical note
Rule 22 judgments allow tribunals to determine wage and holiday pay claims on the papers where respondents fail to respond and sufficient information is provided in the claim form.
