Mr B Mills
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Quill made a determination under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2024 against BAU Mechanical Electrical Plumbing Ltd (in creditors' voluntary liquidation).
The claimant Mr B Mills, on a salary of £42,000 per year (£807.69/week), was not paid for the last three weeks of employment (12-30 September 2022). Of those three weeks, the Tribunal found 2.4 weeks were payable (eight working days, one bank holiday, three holiday days), with three days of sick absence not qualifying for SSP. This produced an award of £1,938.46 gross for unauthorised deduction from wages, including holiday entitlement.
The respondent was further ordered to pay £100.20 as damages for unreimbursed contractual expenses. The claim for interest was dismissed. The respondent may satisfy the judgment net of PAYE provided it accounts to HMRC.

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.
