Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was issued under Rule 21 without a hearing. Employment Judge Horne found that Cheshire West and Chester Council breached regulation 5 of the Agency Workers Regulations 2010 by failing to pay Mr S Jones at Grade 4, failing to consider him for a bonus, failing to permit him to work flexible hours, failing to pay him for two away days, and failing to pay him for the Christmas and Boxing Day Bank Holidays in 2018.
The tribunal awarded compensation for loss of benefits caused by four of those breaches. The amounts were £537 for the Grade 4 issue, £750 for the bonus issue, £140 for the away days, and £140 for the bank holidays. No compensation was awarded for the flexible hours breach.
The judgment states that all sums are awarded gross without deduction for tax or national insurance. The total compensation awarded was £1,567.

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.
