Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Tegerdine, sitting at Hull by CVP on 1 December 2020, held that Mr A Barjers’ claims for unlawful deduction from wages and breach of contract were well founded. The successful claim related to furlough pay for the period 25 July to 31 July 2020.
The tribunal ordered Workchain Ltd to pay Mr Barjers the gross sum of £315.35, described in the judgment as the amount of the unlawful deduction from wages properly payable to him in respect of that furlough period. Payment was ordered to be made by 15 December 2020.
The claimant’s request for compensation for holiday accrued but not taken in the 1 January to 31 December 2019 leave year did not succeed. The tribunal found that he was not entitled to carry over any accrued but untaken holiday, and therefore made no award on that issue.

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.
