Lagomera Meathouse Ltd

Case Summary

The claimant claimed an unauthorised deduction from wages for accrued but untaken holiday pay. The respondent failed to engage with the tribunal process and did not attend the hearing. The tribunal found the complaint well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay £2,186.78 for unpaid holiday accrued from 8 April 2024 to 1 May 2025.

The tribunal found the complaint well-founded because the claimant produced pay slips covering the majority of his employment period from 8 April 2024 to 1 May 2025 showing no holiday pay had been paid to him despite working minimum wage hours, and the respondent failed to engage with the tribunal process or present any response to challenge the claim.
