Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting before Employment Judge Tom Ryan, noted that the respondent did not attend and had not entered a response. It amended the respondent's title to The Yard Marketers Ltd and found that the claimant's gross weekly pay was £461.54.
It held that the claimant's claims for arrears of wages, unpaid holiday pay, and breach of contract for failure to pay notice pay were well-founded. The judgment recorded the calculations used: 2 days' pay for training at the start of employment and 12 days' pay for 1-18 August 2019 for the wages claim, 12 days of accrued annual leave less 4 days taken for public holidays for the holiday pay claim, and 1 week's pay for notice pay.
The claim for breach of contract by failure to pay commission was dismissed as not well-founded. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay gross sums totalling £2,492.32, made up of £1,292.32 for wages, £738.46 for holiday pay, and £461.54 for notice pay, payable by 2 January 2020. It also noted that the sums were awarded gross and that the claimant might be liable to tax on them.

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.
