Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Short was employed by Everycone Ltd t/a WM Engineering from 31 October 2016 to 14 August 2020. He presented his claim on 13 October 2020 and, because no response was received after service, the Tribunal dealt with the case under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 on the material available.
The Tribunal upheld the claim for unlawful deduction of wages. It accepted the Claimant's account that he worked his notice but was not paid for 1 week of that period, and ordered the Respondent to pay the gross sum of £452.76.
The Tribunal also upheld the holiday pay claim under regulation 30 of the Working Time Regulations 1998. It found that the holiday year began on 1 January 2020, that by termination the Claimant had accrued 17.4 days' annual leave, and that he had taken 5 days. On that basis, it ordered payment for 12 days at the daily rate of £90.55, totalling £1,086.62.

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.
