Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant worked for the respondent as a chef from July 2021 until 8 November 2021 and was paid a gross daily rate of £100. He worked 10 days at the start of October 2021 and should have been paid £1,000 gross on 28 October 2021, but nothing was paid on that date. On 8 November 2021 he received £600 gross, leaving £400 unpaid. The tribunal accepted that the respondent's reasons for withholding pay related to events after 15 October 2021, when the claimant became unwell, and did not justify withholding wages for days already worked.
Claims and outcomes

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unlawful deduction from wages | The tribunal held that the respondent failed to pay wages for 10 days worked at the start of October 2021, leaving £400 unpaid. It treated the non-payment on 28 October 2021 and the part-payment on 8 November 2021 as part of a series of deductions for limitation purposes. | Upheld | — | £400 |
| Holiday pay | The tribunal allowed amendment so the claimant could pursue holiday pay, which had not been expressly pleaded in the claim form. It found that 4 days' accrued but untaken holiday pay were due at £100 per day. | Upheld | — | £400 |

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.
