Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On that basis, the tribunal found that WK Pubs Limited had made unauthorised deductions from Mr R Towers's wages for break deductions in 2021 and for non-payment of tips in 2021.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement. It ordered payment of £590.83 for holiday pay, made up of £254.63 for 2021 holiday pay and £336.26 for 2022 holiday pay. The total sum ordered was £825.21.
A separate interest notice stated that sums unpaid more than 14 days after the judgment was sent would carry simple interest at 8% from 28 June 2022, but the judgment itself did not quantify an interest 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.
