Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant worked for the first respondent (BPS Solicitors Ltd, in creditors voluntary liquidation) from 1 June 2024 to 22 August 2024 on a gross annual salary of £45,000 (gross daily rate £173.08). The respondent did not present a response to the claim, and Employment Judge Ainscough determined the matter under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the information before the Judge, with the Secretary of State making legal submissions.
The Judge found the claims for unauthorised deduction of wages (16 unpaid days), failure to pay statutory notice pay (5 days), and accrued holiday pay (4.43 days) all well founded, and ordered the first respondent to pay the gross sums of £2,769.28, £865.40, and £766.74 respectively.

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.
