Mr D Wood v Wood Building Contractors Ltd: 1800755/2023
JUDGMENT
[1]The Respondent did not attend the hearing. As the Respondent confirmed it would not be attending ‘any’ hearing, considering Rule 47 of Schedule 1 of The Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, I decided to proceed with the hearing in the Respondent’s absence.[2]The Claimant’s claim for unauthorised deductions from wages, contrary to section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, succeeds in respect to the Claimant’s unpaid holiday pay.[3]The Claimant’s breach of contract claim, brought pursuant to Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994, succeeds in respect to the Claimant’s unpaid wages and notice pay.[4]The Respondent is ordered to pay the Claimant the sum of £2,391. This is a gross sum and the Claimant is required to account for any income tax and/or employee national insurance contributions which may be due on it.
