Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal proceeded in the Respondent's absence under Rule 47 after the Respondent did not attend or make contact. The Claimant gave affirmed evidence about the sums claimed and his status, saying he worked for the Respondent as a driver from 19 November 2021 to 7 December 2021 and was not pursuing a business activity on his own account.
The tribunal found the Claimant was a worker within section 230(3) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and regulation 2(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998. It noted the Respondent had asserted that the Claimant was self-employed and had caused vehicle damage and an unpaid parking ticket, but had presented no evidence supporting those assertions or any written entitlement to deduct wages.
The tribunal upheld the claims for unauthorised deductions from wages and unpaid holiday entitlement. It ordered the Respondent to pay £1,080.16 gross for underpaid wages and training pay, plus £66.82 gross for accrued holiday entitlement.

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.
