Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat at Liverpool by video on 19 January 2024 before Employment Judge Buzzard sitting alone. It found that Mrs Sanderson's claims were claims only against her employer, Floor Centre (Yorkshire) Ltd, and dismissed all claims against Mr Richard Gill because the judgment recorded that she was employed by the first respondent only.
The claim for unpaid notice-period pay succeeded. The tribunal accepted that the claimant started a new job part way through her notice period and had fully mitigated her losses from that point. It ordered the first respondent to pay £750 within 28 days, described as 10 days' gross pay.
The holiday pay claim also succeeded. The tribunal found that it had been agreed the claimant could carry 8 days' holiday forward into the leave year in which her employment ended. On the basis that she took 9 days' holiday in that year, two more than she had accrued, the tribunal found that 6 days' holiday remained owed at termination. It ordered payment of £450, representing 6 days' gross pay.
The separate claim for 7 hours' overtime pay was dismissed as not well founded. The judgment was given orally at the hearing, and the written record attached the usual notice about interest on unpaid tribunal awards if sums remain outstanding after the relevant period.

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.
