Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The claimant was employed by the second respondent from 7 July 2023 to 4 August 2023 and brought claims for unpaid wages and for failure to provide payslips. The respondents did not file an ET3 in time, but Employment Judge Anderson extended time to 12 January 2024 after hearing Mr Osborne’s explanation and applying the overriding objective in the Employment Tribunal Rules.

At the hearing both the claimant and Mr Osborne gave evidence. Mr Osborne said that payments had been made after the claim was issued, including £200 in December 2023, £250 in November 2023, £308.16 on 8 January 2024 and £250 on 15 January 2024. After a short adjournment the claimant checked his figures and agreed that the amount still outstanding was £454.

The tribunal upheld the s13 Employment Rights Act 1996 unlawful deduction from wages claim and ordered the second respondent to pay £454 within 14 days. It also upheld the s8 Employment Rights Act 1996 itemised pay statement claim and, under s12(3), declared that the second respondent had failed to provide an itemised pay statement for work carried out between 7 July 2023 and 4 August 2023. The claimant’s application for a preparation time order was refused under Rule 75(2).

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.
