Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss D M Coloma Valencia worked for Safwan Baig Group Limited as a waitress from 2 January 2019 to early June 2019. She appeared in person; the respondent did not appear and no response had been entered. The tribunal accepted the claimant's evidence and the documents she produced, including her contract and payslips, which showed an hourly rate of £8.21.
On wages, the tribunal accepted the claimant's figures for January, February and March 2019. It found that she was underpaid by £51.66 in January, £318.45 in February and £308.02 in March, making a total unpaid wage award of £678.13. It also accepted that she worked three days at the end of May and on 1 June 2019, ten hours per day after an unpaid 30-minute break, and that she was owed £246.30 for those hours.
On holiday pay, the tribunal accepted that the claimant was entitled to 5.6 weeks' annual leave, accrued 2.33 days per month over five months, and had not taken or been paid for any holiday or Bank Holidays. Using an average ten-hour day at £8.21 per hour, it calculated 11.65 accrued days at £82.10 per day and awarded £956.46 for untaken holiday. The total award was £2,837.49.

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.
