Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Nathan Watson’s claim for unpaid wages for 22 November to 7 December 2022 succeeded. The tribunal accepted that he was ready and willing to work during that period and calculated the sum due at the agreed hourly rate of £9.50, based on 2 days per week and 3.5 hours per day, awarding £166.25 gross. The judgment records that the unpaid wages claim was advanced both as an unlawful deduction from wages claim under section 13 Employment Rights Act 1996 and as a breach of contract claim.
The notice pay claim also succeeded. The tribunal found that Mr Watson had 3 years’ continuous service and was entitled to a minimum of 3 weeks’ notice under section 86 Employment Rights Act 1996. It ordered the respondent to pay £199.50 gross for the period from 7 December 2022, when notice was issued, to 28 December 2022.
In addition, the tribunal awarded a further 2 weeks’ pay under section 38 Employment Act 2002. The judgment states that it was not in dispute that the claimant had not been provided with a statement of employment particulars, and the tribunal ordered payment of £133 gross for that failure.

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.
