Lindsey Whewell v Neil Cryer — 2026

This was a Rule 22 judgment issued after the respondent failed to enter a response. Employment Judge Shotter determined the claims on the papers and took the final hearing listed for 23 January 2026 out of the list.

The Tribunal upheld the claimant's holiday pay complaint, finding that the respondent had failed to pay her in accordance with regulations 14(2) and/or 16(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998, and ordered the respondent to pay £247.50 gross (calculated on the basis of £990 gross per month, 16 hours a week at £15.47 per hour gross). The Tribunal also found the wrongful dismissal claim well-founded as a breach of contract and ordered the respondent to pay contractual notice pay of £247.50 gross, representing one week's statutory notice.

The claimant was made responsible for any tax or National Insurance on the sums awarded. A notice under Article 12 of the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 was issued, with the relevant decision day recorded as 13 February 2026 and interest accruing at the stipulated rate of 8% per annum if the sums were not paid in full within 14 days.
