Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 15 June 2023. The respondent did not present a valid response in time, so the tribunal determined the case under Rule 21.
For Mr Thomas Spittle, Mr Mark Pascoe, Mr Darren Limpus, Mr Thomas Keast and Mr Wayne Ford, the tribunal found unauthorised deductions from wages and awarded £4,137, £3,361.92, £5,361.76, £2,835 and £3,795 gross respectively. It also found that each claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded redundancy payments of £2,800, £2,200, £5,640, £1,100 and £967.50.
Holiday entitlement claims succeeded for Mr Spittle (£1,560), Mr Pascoe (£585), Mr Keast (£1,216) and Mr Ford (£1,380). Mr Limpus's award comprised wages and redundancy only. The tribunal recorded total awards of £8,497, £6,146.92, £11,001.76, £5,151 and £6,142.50 respectively, producing an overall award of £36,939.18.

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.
