Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Alliott sat alone at Watford on 11 August 2023. The respondent did not attend. The tribunal recorded two successful monetary claims: unpaid wages/unauthorised deductions and holiday pay. It ordered the respondent to pay £98.93 gross for unpaid time and £643.33 gross for holiday pay, both subject to tax and National Insurance deductions.
On the wages issue, the tribunal accepted the claimant's evidence that there was no agreement for breaks to be automatically applied and not paid. It found that he had not been paid for 6.5 hours and was entitled to £98.93 gross. The reasons also record that the claimant had raised a separate figure of £226.85, but he accepted that this was a deduction of tax and National Insurance relating to a gross payment of £684.90, so the tribunal found that he was not owed that sum.
On holiday pay, the tribunal relied on a letter dated 13 September 2020 from the respondent accepting that £643.33 was owed. The judgment does not record any separate award for interest or other heads of loss. The total of the two awards was £742.26 gross, subject to the stated deductions.

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.
