Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Claimant brought a complaint of failure to pay holiday pay under the Working Time Regulations 1998, Reg 30(1)(b). The claim was issued in the Newcastle Employment Tribunal on 24 April 2024 and heard via CVP on 12 July 2024 before Employment Judge McGregor. The Respondent failed to respond to the claim and did not attend the hearing.
The Tribunal found the holiday pay complaint well founded in respect of accrued, untaken holidays between 14 August 2023 and 22 December 2023, and ordered the Respondent to pay £775.72 (76.2 accrued hours at £10.18 per hour). The Tribunal further found that the Respondent had failed to follow the ACAS Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures and applied a 25% uplift of £194.00 to the award.
The Respondent was ordered to pay the Claimant the total sum of £969.72 within 14 days of the date of judgment.

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.
