Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr J Collins brought claims for notice pay, holiday pay, unauthorised deductions from wages and redundancy pay against Agenda Medical Locums Ltd. Employment Judge Boyes, sitting alone at Bury St Edmunds by Cloud Video Platform on 18 August 2023, recorded that the respondent did not attend.
The tribunal held that the notice pay, holiday pay and unauthorised deductions from wages claims were out of time. It found that it was not reasonably practicable for those claims to be made within the three month time limit, but that they were not presented within such further period as the tribunal considered reasonable. The tribunal therefore had no jurisdiction to deal with those claims.
The redundancy pay claim was held to be in time because the claimant had made a written request to the respondent within 6 months of the date his employment ended on 31 October 2021. The tribunal found the redundancy pay claim well founded and succeeded it.
For the redundancy calculation, the judgment records Mr Collins's date of birth as 16 July 1985, his employment start date as 10 March 2010 and his employment end date as 31 October 2021. It found 11 full years of continuous employment and applied the maximum statutory redundancy pay for 2021/2022 of £544, producing a redundancy payment of £5,984.

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.
