Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Leeds on 22 August 2023 before Employment Judge D N Jones. The tribunal ordered Patson's Limited to pay Mr V Pulko £901.95 for outstanding holiday leave at the end of employment, assessed as 3.38 weeks.
A further £225.31 was awarded, described in the judgment as an additional 25%, because of the respondent's unreasonable failure to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Discipline and Grievance Procedures. The tribunal also awarded £1,127.26, being 4 weeks' pay, for failure to provide a written statement of particulars of employment.
The remaining claims for holiday entitlement and for arrears of pay below the national minimum wage were dismissed because they were presented out of time. The written record also notes that the respondent's name was amended as above.

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.
