Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss M R Bullock presented her claim on 12 April 2023 for unpaid wages, notice pay, and accrued but untaken holiday pay. The respondent did not present a response by the deadline, and no extension of time was sought. The tribunal proceeded under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 and, on the material available, decided that it could determine the claim without a hearing.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed by Greedy Soul Catering Ltd from around 1 February 2022 until 3 March 2023, when her employment ended with immediate effect. It accepted that she worked on a zero-hours contract at £7 per hour. In the absence of any valid response from the respondent, the tribunal was satisfied that there was enough information to determine the sums claimed.
The tribunal upheld the claim under section 23 Employment Rights Act 1996 for unlawful deduction of wages and ordered payment of £322 gross, being 46 unpaid hours worked in February 2023. It also upheld the breach of contract claim for failure to give notice and awarded £127.75 net, calculated as one week's pay using average weekly hours of 18.25.
The tribunal further upheld the Working Time Regulations claim for outstanding holiday pay on termination and ordered £660.80 gross, based on 94.4 hours of accrued holiday at £7 per hour. The judgment recorded no other remedy beyond those three sums.

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.
