Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not file an ET3 Grounds of Resistance. Employment Judge E Burns therefore determined the claim on the papers under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, without a hearing. The claimant, Mr Barry Finneran, had been employed by PGD Food Services Limited from 9 November 2020 to 16 July 2021 on a salary of £40,000 per annum, equivalent to £769.23 per week, and was also entitled to holiday.
On the material before the tribunal, the respondent had failed to pay the claimant the wages due for the period 1 June 2021 to 16 July 2021, one week's notice pay under section 86(1)(a) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and three weeks' holiday pay. The tribunal accepted the claimant's breakdown and ordered gross payment of £3,714 for arrears of pay, £1,857 for holiday pay, and £769.23 for notice pay, making a total award of £6,340.23 gross, subject to deductions for tax and national insurance.

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.
