Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a default judgment following a telephone case management hearing on 8 April 2020 before Employment Judge Lloyd. The respondent had not presented a response within the requisite time limit and did not appear or attend. The tribunal therefore proceeded on the available information and entered judgment under Rule 21.
The tribunal allowed the claimant's claim for unpaid wages. It also allowed the claimant's claim for unpaid accrued holiday pay. The judgment quantified those sums at £290 gross for 29 hours' unpaid wages and £385 gross for holiday pay.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to provide the claimant with a written statement of terms and conditions of employment under s.1 Employment Rights Act 1996. In consequence, it awarded the claimant four weeks' pay under s.38 of the Employment Act 2002, assessed at £720 gross.
The total award was £1,395 gross, comprising the three amounts above. The judgment does not record any separate award of interest or any other remedy beyond that total compensation figure.

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.
