Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Bristol Employment Tribunal hearing on 13 August 2021, before Employment Judge Millard, the respondent did not attend. The tribunal determined the claims brought by Antonio Valles Maestro, Carlos Marcy Perez, Gema Benjumea Canas and Ruben Gonzalez Fouz on the written material before it and recorded reasons orally at the hearing.
For each claimant, the tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered payment of the unpaid wages sums set out in the judgment. The awards were £6,501.81 for Antonio Valles Maestro, £4,240.22 for Carlos Marcy Perez, £6,501.81 for Gema Benjumea Canas and £5,653.62 for Ruben Gonzalez Fouz.
The tribunal also found that each claimant had not been paid holiday entitlement. It ordered payment of £1,150 for Antonio Valles Maestro in respect of 13 days, £576.90 for Carlos Marcy Perez in respect of 10 days, £1,061.52 for Gema Benjumea Canas in respect of 12 days, and £999.96 for Ruben Gonzalez Fouz in respect of 13 days. The judgment records the sums as gross amounts.
The written record does not identify any discrimination, dismissal, or redundancy issue. It is limited to the wages and holiday pay claims, and the total of the awards recorded is £26,685.84.

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.
