Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the claims against the First Respondent were well-founded. It upheld an unlawful deduction of wages claim for arrears of pay due on 23 December 2022 and a claim for outstanding holiday pay on termination of employment. The First Respondent was ordered to pay gross sums of £211.88 and £923.08 respectively.
In addition, the tribunal ordered the First Respondent to pay £25 under section 24(2) as compensation for financial loss attributable to the unlawful deduction of wages and holiday pay. The total amount ordered against the First Respondent was £1,159.96.
As against the Second Respondent, the tribunal held that the holiday pay claim had been presented outside the time limit in section 23(2) ERA 1996 and regulation 30(2)(a) WTR 1998, but it was satisfied that it was not reasonably practicable to present the complaint before the end of that period and that it was presented within a reasonable period. The claim therefore succeeded and the Second Respondent was ordered to pay £881.

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.
