Mr S Naik v Accenture Group Worldwide Ltd: 6003638/2024
JUDGMENT
Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 – Rule 21[1]The claim was issued in the Employment Tribunals on 10 June 2024. The respondent has failed to present a valid response on time. The Claimant was unable to connect to the CVP room as required and only had a mobile phone to facilitate access to the hearing today. I considered it was in accordance with the overriding objective, given the issues in the case and effective use of judicial resources to proceed by issuing a judgment in accordance with rule 21 of the Rules of Procedure.[2]The Claimant’s claim for one month’s pay succeeds and the Respondent is ordered to pay the Claimant £2166.67 net in respect of unpaid wages.[3]The Claimant’s claim for breach of contract in respect of reimbursement of the £480 for certification succeeds and the Respondent is ordered to pay the Claimant that sum.[4]There was no pleaded basis to support the Claimant’s claims for the sum of £33000 a printer, Macbook Air and mobile phone and no order is made in respect of those matters. Case Number: 6003638/2024[5]The Respondent is therefore ordered to pay the Claimant the total sum of £2646.67 in respect of his claims.
