Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Rule 21 hearing on 22 January 2020, Employment Judge Licorish found that The Well Fed Pub Company Limited had made unauthorised deductions from the first and second claimants' wages for the period 1 to 9 September 2019. Mr Szydelko was awarded £484.62 and Mr Lennon £328.40 for that head of claim.
The tribunal also found that both first and second claimants were dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, awarding Mr Szydelko £403.85 and Mr Lennon £328.40. It further held that the respondent had failed to pay accrued holiday entitlement, awarding Mr Szydelko £1,051.01 and Mr Lennon £656.80. The judgment recorded that the first and second claimants would be responsible for any income tax or employee national insurance contributions due on the awards.
In addition, when proceedings were begun the respondent was in breach of its duty under section 1(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 to give a written statement of employment particulars. The tribunal therefore ordered additional amounts of £807.70 for Mr Szydelko and £656.80 for Mr Lennon.
The third claimant did not attend the hearing, despite being directed to do so to enable the tribunal to quantify her claims. Her claim against the respondent was dismissed.

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.
