Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed all claims against the second respondent. It found that the claimant was an employee of the first respondent at the relevant time.
The tribunal held that the holiday pay complaint was well-founded because the first respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay for holidays accrued but not taken when employment ended. It ordered the first respondent to pay GBP 513.
The tribunal also found that, when proceedings began, the first respondent was in breach of its duty to provide a written statement of employment particulars. Under section 38 Employment Act 2002 it awarded an amount equal to two weeks' gross pay, GBP 422, and declined to award four weeks' gross pay.

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.
