Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThese were Rule 21 proceedings after the respondent failed to file a Response Form and did not attend the hearing. The tribunal heard evidence from the claimant in person and gave judgment on the papers and oral evidence before Employment Judge Gidney on 17 August 2023.
The tribunal found that clause 13 of the claimant’s contract entitled him to £10 per hour, that 31 hours remained unpaid at termination, and that the arrears of pay claim was well founded in the sum of £310. It also found that £221.40 remained outstanding for travel expenses.
In addition, the tribunal found that clause 13 entitled the claimant to £100 per deal, that three deals remained outstanding, and that the commission claim was well founded in the sum of £300. The holiday pay claim failed because the tribunal found the claimant accrued holiday only after a 10-day probationary period and had not accrued days’ holiday during that period.
The total judgment ordered to the claimant was £831.40.

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.
