Tribunal's reasoningRegional Employment Judge Foxwell, sitting alone at Bury St Edmunds on 4 July 2025, heard the claimant in person; the respondents did not appear. The First Respondent's name was corrected to Noordzee Holding Limited. The claims against the Third Respondent, Bash HR and Admin Services Limited, were dismissed because that company had been dissolved in March 2025, so no judgment was entered against it.
The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded against the First and Second Respondents in respect of the period July 2023, and ordered them to pay the claimant £2,178 gross, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance. The complaint of holiday pay was also well-founded: the First and Second Respondents had failed to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken on the date his employment ended, and were ordered to pay £603 on the same basis.
Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
