Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Claimant presented an ET1 on 10 December 2023. The Respondent did not file a response by the deadline of 16 January 2024, and the Employment Judge proceeded under rule 21 of the Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013 on the basis that sufficient information was available to determine the claims without a hearing.
The Claimant was employed as an assistant driver from 24 July 2023 to 1 September 2023 at £10.42 gross per hour, averaging 40 hours per week. In the week commencing 21 August 2023 he worked 51 hours but was not paid on 31 August 2023 or thereafter. His employment was terminated on 1 September 2023 without the one week's notice to which he was entitled, and he had 14 hours of accrued, untaken holiday at termination.
The Judge was satisfied that the unpaid wages constituted an unauthorised deduction without contractual or statutory authority, that the dismissal without notice was a breach of contract, and that holiday pay was outstanding. The three claims succeeded and the Respondent was ordered to pay £531.42 in unpaid wages, £145.88 for holiday pay and £361 in notice pay, totalling £1,038.30.

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.
