JUDGMENT
[1]The respondent has failed to file an ET3 within the deadline and has not requested an extension of time to file the same.[2]Having considered the ET1 and attachment provided by the claimant, Employment Judge Joffe has decided that a determination of the claim can properly be made without a hearing and the Judgment of the Tribunal, made under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Procedure Rules 2024, is as set out below.[3]The claimant complains of unfair dismissal.[4]Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have not less than two years service to make an unfair dismissal complaint.[5]The claimant was employed by the respondent for less than two years.[6]Therefore the claimant is not entitled to bring such a complaint.[7]The claimant has failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out.[8]Accordingly, the complaint of unfair dismissal is struck out. Case No: 6013988/25[9]The claimant worked for the respondent from March 2024 to February 2025. The respondent has failed to pay wages for the claimant’s work in December 2025 in the sum of £1140.38.[10]The respondent has failed to pay holiday pay (accrued but not taken) in the sum of £905.25.[11]The respondent failed to provide work for the claimant from mid-December to 4 February 2025 despite promising to do so, leaving the claimant unable to work elsewhere. He therefore lost earnings in the sum of £4000.00.[12]Accordingly, the respondent is ordered to pay the claimant £6045.63 and to account to HMRC for any tax and NI due on this sum.
