Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a response, and the tribunal decided the case under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013 on the material available. Employment Judge Sweeney was satisfied that there was sufficient information to determine the claim without a hearing.
The claimant, Jane Barnes, had been employed by Grand Pacific CRO UK Limited from 25 October 2022 to 18 August 2023 as a Senior Start-Up Specialist on a gross monthly salary of £3,750. The tribunal accepted that she had been underpaid for May 2023, not paid in full for June 2023, not paid at all for July 2023, and not paid the amount due for August 2023 on termination. The gross arrears of wages were calculated at £6,762.50 and the tribunal ordered that sum to be paid.
The tribunal also found that, as at 18 August 2023, the claimant had accrued 17.5 days' annual leave and had taken 14 days, leaving 3.5 days outstanding. Using a daily rate of £42.61, the tribunal assessed untaken holiday pay at £149.13 gross. The total amount awarded to the claimant was £6,911.63.

| Unlawful deduction from wages | The tribunal found the claim for arrears of pay consisting of unpaid wages was well founded and awarded £6,762.50 gross. The text states that the balance for May was paid on 12 July 2013, which appears inconsistent with the 2023 chronology in the judgment. | Upheld | — | £6,763 |
| Holiday pay | The tribunal found the claim for untaken, accrued holiday pay was well founded and awarded £149.13 gross, calculated on 3.5 days at a daily rate of £42.61. | Upheld | — | £149 |

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.
