Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard remotely on 20 May 2021 before Employment Judge Ord. The claimants appeared in person and the respondent did not appear. The tribunal sent the written record of the decision on 17 June 2021. The judgment records that all of the wage claims were well founded, and that the travel-expense claims for Miss McNab, Mr Burns and Mr McMahon were also in breach of contract.
For Miss McNab, the tribunal found unlawful deductions from wages in the gross sum of £2,519.75, made up of 25 days' pay for July and August 2020 and 1 calendar month’s pay for September 2020, less £625 already paid. It also ordered payment of £515.82 for travel expenses described as bridge tolls and fuel. For Mr Burns, the tribunal found unlawful deductions from wages of £3,223.41, comprising 2 calendar months' pay for September and October 2020 and 5 working days in November 2020, and awarded £590 for travel expenses described as taxi fares.
For Mr McEwan, the tribunal found unlawful deductions from wages of £2,048.85, comprising 1 calendar month’s pay for October 2020, 5 working days in November 2020 and 2 weeks' Statutory Sick Pay for November 2020. For Mr McMahon, the tribunal found unlawful deductions from wages of £5,224.25, made up of 29 days' pay for July and August 2020 and 3 calendar months' pay for September, October and November 2020, less £2,510 already paid, and also awarded £348 for travel expenses described as bridge tolls and fuel. The judgment includes the standard notice that unpaid sums carry interest after 14 days, but no separate interest amount is quantified in the decision.

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.
