Ms K A Graham v Evolve Academy: 2408471/2021
JUDGMENT
Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 – Rule 21[1]This rule 21 Judgment on both liability and remedy is made by consent. The claim was issued in the Employment Tribunals on 15 July 2021. The respondent has failed to present a valid response on time. Mr Harkness appeared for the respondent today and confirmed that he had not submitted a Response Form, though he thought he had by sending it to ACAS in September 2021, but that in any event the respondent does not contest the claim and agrees the amount claimed and does not wish to be heard on remedy. Both parties asked that the Tribunal determine the matter today.[2]The Employment Judge decided that a determination can properly be made of the claim in accordance with rule 21 of the Rules of Procedure. Today’s hearing which was listed as a preliminary hearing for case management was converted by consent to a public hearing under Rule 48 Employment Tribunal (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013.[3]The respondent has failed to provide itemised pay statements and failed to make contributions to the claimant’s pension having made deductions from the claimant’s wages on the understanding that those contributions would be paid. The claim was quantified as follows: missing deductions March 2019 at £ 18.34, then 15 months at £ 74.00 per month, then July 2020 at £ 23.97.[4]The claimant’s claim succeeds. The respondent is ordered to pay the claimant £ 1,152.31.
