Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss Byrnes brought a claim for £260.81 said to be wages due for 26 hours worked for Bearcare (Nottm) Limited between 26 and 29 July 2021. She said she started work as a pre-school room leader on 26 July 2021, raised concerns about staffing levels during lunch breaks, was told by two directors that if she did not like the situation she could leave and would be paid for the hours she had worked, and then left but was not paid despite repeated requests. The respondent did not attend the hearing and its account was not tested in cross-examination.

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.
