Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Mr N Wall was an employee of Walls & Ceiling Finishes Ltd within section 230(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, accepting his unchallenged evidence on that issue. It then found that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded.
The tribunal accepted the claimant's unchallenged evidence that, between 24 February 2021 and 24 February 2023, he accrued 56 days of holiday but received no payment for that holiday, amounting to £7,840. It also accepted that in February 2023 he was not paid for five days worked on 15, 16, 20, 21 and 24 February 2023, when he was entitled to £140 per day, amounting to £700.
The respondents were ordered to pay £8,540, described as the gross sum deducted. The judgment states that the claimant is responsible for any tax or National Insurance. The Notice on interest records that interest is payable under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, with the relevant decision day as 3 March 2025 and the stipulated rate as 8% per annum, but no separate interest figure is quantified in the judgment.

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.
