Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not serve a response after the proceedings were served at its registered address. Applying rule 21 of the Tribunal Rules of Procedure, Employment Judge Sweeney considered whether the available material allowed a determination of the claim or part of it.
The claimant was employed as a Gym Instructor from 5 October 2020 until 13 August 2021, when he was dismissed. The Tribunal recorded a history of late payment of wages during his employment and found that, at termination, he was owed a substantial sum in unpaid wages and money for accrued but untaken holiday.
The Tribunal was satisfied there was sufficient information to issue judgment in the claimant's favour on liability. The claim for unauthorised deduction of wages under section 23 Employment Rights Act 1996 succeeded, and the claim for unpaid outstanding holiday on termination also succeeded. Because further information was required about the amounts claimed, the Tribunal listed a remedy hearing rather than making a monetary award in this 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.
