Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant was employed as a window fitter from 5 November 2018 until his resignation on 30 September 2019. The respondent did not appear and had not filed a response. The tribunal identified the live issues as holiday pay and unauthorised deduction of wages.
For holiday pay, the claimant could not produce a contract dealing with holiday entitlement, so the tribunal calculated entitlement under the Working Time Regulations 1998. It found he was entitled to 23 days for the period worked, had taken 20 days, and was unpaid for 3 days, producing an award of £364.44 based on a daily rate of £121.48.
For wages, the tribunal found the claimant had not been paid for September 2019 and had not received a payslip for that month. It awarded £2,632.00, representing one month's gross pay, as an unauthorised deduction of wages. The unfair dismissal claim was withdrawn by the claimant after the tribunal explained the two-year qualifying period issue, and it was dismissed on withdrawal.

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.
