Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal corrected the respondent’s name to Oliver’s Barbers Manchester Limited and dismissed the claims against Oliver’s Hair by Haley Tompkinson. The claimant was 17 years old at the effective date of termination, was employed from 1 May to 28 May 2022, and was dismissed without notice. The respondent did not attend the hearing.
The tribunal found that the respondent failed to provide the claimant with a statement of initial employment particulars in accordance with section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and considered it just and equitable to award four weeks’ pay. It awarded £721.50 for that claim, calculated at the minimum wage rate of £4.81 for 37.5 hours per week.
The tribunal also found the wrongful dismissal claim well-founded and awarded one week’s unpaid statutory notice pay of £180.38. It found that the respondent had failed to pay wages from 1 May 2022 to 28 May 2022 and awarded four weeks’ net wages of £721.50 less lawful deductions. The unpaid holiday claim was also well-founded: the claimant had accrued 1.5 days’ holiday at termination, and the tribunal awarded £54.08 at a daily rate of £36.07.

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.
