Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not file an ET3 Grounds of Resistance by 23 July 2020 and did not apply for an extension of time. Employment Judge Nicolle therefore determined the claim on the papers under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 without a hearing.
The tribunal held that the respondent had unlawfully failed to pay wages for the period between 1 January 2020 and 14 February 2020 in the gross sum of £4,871.78. It also found that, because the claimant had relied on oral representations made by Maria Laura Iglesias, the respondent's CEO, before she started work, she was owed a further gross sum of £3,333.34 in respect of arrears of pay outstanding for June and July 2019 from her employment with Orwell Group Holding Ltd.
The tribunal further awarded £1,230.77 gross for accrued holiday entitlement for the period from 25 October 2019 to 14 February 2020, based on an annual entitlement of 25 days and no holiday taken, giving 8 accrued days at a daily rate of £153.85. It also awarded £6,796.41 net for the unpaid 3-month contractual notice period under clause 11.1 of the contract of employment. The order required payment of £9,435.89 gross for unpaid wages and holiday entitlement together with £6,796.41 net for notice, and stated that where payments are made gross the claimant is responsible for applicable tax and employee national insurance contributions.
