Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing before Employment Judge Childe on 6 June 2023, the first and second claimants did not attend. Their claims in case numbers 1301279/2022, 1301314/2022, 1301280/2022 and 1301313/2022 were dismissed under rule 47 for non-attendance. The third claimant's complaint in case number 1303132/2022 and the fourth claimant's complaint in case number 1303076/2022 were dismissed on withdrawal under rule 52.
The third claimant's remaining claims in case number 1303075/2022 succeeded. The tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay £975 gross for the period 30 May 2022 to 17 June 2022, and it ordered payment of that sum. It also found that accrued holiday pay was due on termination and ordered payment of £1,001 gross, representing 7.5 days' holiday pay.
The fourth claimant's remaining claims in case number 1303131/2022 also succeeded. The tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay £1,109.85 gross for the period 30 May 2022 to 17 June 2022, and it ordered payment of that sum. It further ordered £936 net for accrued holiday pay on termination, representing 10.5 days' holiday pay. The total monetary award recorded by the judgment is £4,021.85.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
