Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a response and did not attend the hearing. The tribunal found that Mr Stone’s claim under section 23 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 for unpaid wages was well founded. It found that he had not been paid from and including March 2020 to the end of July 2020, subject to an agreed furlough arrangement for April to June 2020 under which he accepted 80% of his pay.
On the wages calculation, the tribunal allowed £2,400 for March and July 2020, £2,880 for April to June 2020, and £300 for a week’s pay in hand, making £5,580 in total. After deducting £1,250 already paid by the respondent on account of wages, the balance owing was £4,330. The tribunal also upheld the Working Time Regulations claim for holiday pay, finding that 158 hours’ holiday pay remained due.
The holiday pay calculation was £790 for 98.75 hours at the normal hourly rate of £8, and £379.20 for 59.25 hours at the furlough rate of £6.40, giving £1,169.20. The total ordered to be paid was £5,499.20, with any lawful deductions for tax or national insurance to be treated as payment of the award to that extent.

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.
