Mr P Willgress v Total Home Delivery Limited — 2025

The claim was heard at Norwich Employment Tribunal by CVP on 11 September 2025 before Employment Judge Gordon Walker sitting alone. The claimant represented himself and the respondent did not attend and had not presented a response. The judge was satisfied that the claim form had been sent to an appropriate address (the office and warehouse from which the claimant worked) and that notice of the hearing had been sent to the respondent's registered address, and proceeded to determine the claim on the information provided by the claimant under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2024.

The tribunal found the claim for unauthorised deductions from wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 well founded and ordered the respondent to pay unpaid wages of £2001.60, accrued but untaken holiday of £2001.60 and notice pay of £3892. The tribunal also found the claim for a redundancy payment under section 135 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 well founded and ordered a redundancy payment of £7245 calculated in accordance with section 162.

The total amount ordered to be paid by the respondent to the claimant within 14 days was £15,140.20. Written reasons were not provided as reasons were given orally at the hearing.
