Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningIn this Rule 21 judgment dated 23 July 2020, Employment Judge JM Wade recorded that the respondent had presented a response but that the sums claimed below were accepted as owing and therefore undefended. The tribunal ordered Bextec IT Design Services Limited to pay Mr R Hepworth £2,059.52 for unpaid February wages and a pension contribution, £538.46 in gross damages for notice pay, and £569.24 for holiday entitlement on termination.
The judgment also referred to two further claims: £143.96 described as breach of contract concerning past pension contributions, and a redundancy payment. Those claims were not determined in the claimant's favour on the material then before the tribunal and were stated to stand dismissed unless, by 4pm on 6 August 2020, the claimant wrote to the tribunal and the respondent's representative setting out the basis for any statutory redundancy payment and the evidential basis for the alleged pension contribution agreement and non-payment.
No injury to feelings or other separate compensatory element was recorded. The bottom-line monetary award reflected only the three sums ordered on the face of the judgment, totalling £3,167.22.

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.
