Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondents did not file ET3 Grounds of Resistance. Employment Judge Nicolle therefore determined the claims on the papers under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 without a hearing.
The tribunal found that the respondents unlawfully failed to pay wages to the claimant between 28 August 2019 and 17 January 2020. Using the claimant's gross hourly rate of £8.21, it found that 95 hours had not been paid, producing a gross award of £779.95.
The tribunal also found that the respondents unlawfully failed to pay the claimant's full accrued holiday entitlement for the period of employment. It noted an annual holiday entitlement of 28 days, treated the relevant period as 11 days accrued holiday less 2 days taken, and used average weekly pay of £315.26 based on normal working hours of 38.4 to calculate a gross award of £567.48.
The respondents were ordered to pay £1,347.43 gross in total, and were held jointly and severally liable for that sum. The judgment states that the claimant is responsible for any applicable tax and employee national insurance contributions.

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.
