Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting before Employment Judge B Beyzade on 17 October 2023, recorded that the respondent was not present and not represented. The claimant, Mr J O Coxon, succeeded on all three claims before the tribunal: breach of contract in respect of notice pay, unlawful deductions from wages in respect of wage arrears, and unlawful deductions from wages in respect of holiday pay.
The tribunal awarded £1,666.67 for notice pay covering 02 May 2023 to 02 June 2023. It also awarded £6,917.53 for wage arrears covering 01 October 2022 to 01 May 2023, together with a further £638.14 as compensation for financial loss pursuant to section 24(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. A further £153.00 was awarded for holiday pay covering 01 January 2023 to 02 June 2023.
The tribunal then applied a 25% uplift for an unreasonable failure by the respondent to follow the ACAS Code of Practice in relation to a grievance lodged by the claimant. The uplift was calculated by the tribunal on the base total of £9,375.34 and was stated to be £2,343.84. The awards together produce a total of £11,719.18.

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.
