Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 16 March 2020 before Employment Judge Feeney, Mr M Eldershaw succeeded in his claim that Simons Recruitment Limited made unlawful deductions from wages in respect of salary and holiday pay, and also succeeded in his breach of contract claim for failure to pay notice pay. The respondent was not in attendance.
The tribunal awarded £3,347.27 for unpaid wages covering the period 1 October to 17 December 2019, calculated by reference to a net monthly wage of £1,314.80, and £515.80 for 8.5 days' holiday pay at £60.68 per day. It also awarded £303.00 for one week's net notice pay. The total award recorded was £4,166.07.
The judgment was recorded as given orally at the hearing, and the attached interest notice explained the general position under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, including that unpaid sums may carry simple interest if not paid within 14 days. No separate quantified interest sum was included in the award.

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.
