Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard in Glasgow on 1 and 2 September 2021 before Employment Judge R McPherson. Oral reasons were given at the hearing, and no written reasons were requested at that time. The tribunal determined that the respondent had breached the claimant’s contract in respect of notice pay, holiday pay and sick pay/wages.
On remedy, the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £935.22 gross. That sum was made up of £286.87 for notice pay, £263.50 for holiday pay and £384.85 for sick pay/wages. The judgment records that the sum was expressed gross of tax and national insurance, and that any lawful deductions for HMRC were for the respondent to make.
The claimant’s unfair dismissal claim was dismissed. No separate award was made for unfair dismissal, and the judgment does not record any basic award, compensatory award or interest figure.

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.
