CVP This has been a remote hearing via CVP in response to the current pandemic. The 1, 2 and 3 respondents’ absence.[1]The 1 and 2 and 3 respondents did not attend. Notice of this remote hearing with joining instructions was send to the respondents by e-mail on 31 July 2020. Mr Varda attended the hearing on 2 March 2020. Case Number: 3314425/2019 (V)[2]I adjourned for 15 minutes to see if the respondents could be contacted. The only telephone number on file was ‘temporarily unavailable’.[3]I have on file an e-mail from the respondents which proposed settlement in the sum of £800.[4]In the circumstances I decided to proceed in the absence of the respondents. Judgment[5]The claimant claims payment for a total of £93.25 hours at £8 per hour. Employment Judge Lewis ordered the first respondent to answer the question “Did he agree that the claimant had worked 110 hours and only been paid for 17?” by 23 March 2020 and inform the tribunal. He has not done so.[6]I find that he claimant’s claim for unauthorised deduction of wages is well founded and judgment will be in the sum of £93.25 x £8 = £746.[7]The claimant worked for 3.5 weeks. He told me and I accept that the first respondent had calculated his holiday entitlement at 13.5 hours. 13.5 x £8 = £108.
