Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant was employed by Whittington Health NHS Trust until summer 2024, with the precise end date contested. Her original claim form ticked unfair dismissal, holiday pay, arrears of pay and other payments, but her unfair dismissal claim was rejected at sift in May 2024. By the time of the hearing before Employment Judge Hyams, sitting alone at Watford, the live claims were unpaid wages, accrued holiday pay, and a complaint that the respondent had failed to give her sufficient itemised pay statements under s.8 ERA 1996.
The respondent had accepted liability for £5,160.49 gross in respect of unpaid wages and accrued holiday pay for the period 1 August 2023 to 7 August 2024. The Judge's own calculations produced a slightly lower figure but, since the respondent had accepted the higher liability, ordered payment of £5,160.49 subject to lawful PAYE, national insurance and other lawful deductions including those under an attachment of earnings order.
The s.8 itemised pay statement claim was dismissed: the respondent had given pay statements, although they were difficult to understand without guidance, and the difficulty of comprehension was not the subject of the claim. PDF text truncated from 65,831 characters.

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.
