Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr H Lloyd, brought claims against Tower Hire and Sales Limited, which did not file a response or attend the hearing. Employment Judge N Webb, sitting alone at ET Cardiff by video on 31 May 2024, refused the respondent's application to postpone and proceeded in its absence, finding it in the interests of justice to do so given the lack of any prior response or application to participate following the notice of 4 January 2024.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unlawful deduction from the claimant's wages and had not properly paid him for annual leave accrued but not taken at the date of dismissal. The claimant's hourly rate was £12.02 and his weekly pay for holiday pay purposes was £499.83 (£99.97 per day).
The tribunal awarded £787.31 for unpaid wages for February and March 2023 (65.5 hours at £12.02) and £63.30 for outstanding holiday pay (4 days at £99.97, less £336.56 already paid by the respondent), and ordered the respondent to pay the claimant a total of £850.61, with the respondent responsible for tax and National Insurance on the awards.

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.
