Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 27 January 2020 at Watford, Employment Judge Smail recorded that the respondent did not attend and had failed to comply with the order of Employment Judge Lewis dated 24 January 2020. The claimant, Mr E Quintero, attended in person. The tribunal found the claimant's claims for unauthorised deduction of wages and holiday pay to be well-founded.
The tribunal awarded £503.23 for a shortfall of guaranteed work in November 2018, £842.18 for unpaid wages in January 2019, and £934.41 for unpaid wages in February 2019. It also awarded £778.68 for accrued holiday pay, calculated as 7.5 days at £103.82 per day.

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.
