Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAfter making enquiries concerning SJ Highland Construction Ltd's non-attendance, the tribunal proceeded with the hearing and found Mr Birse's claims to be well-founded for the reasons given orally at the hearing.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £985 gross for 6.16 days of accrued but unpaid holiday pay, calculated at 8 hours per day and £20 per hour. It also awarded £420 for unpaid wages for the claimant's last three days of work, making a total award of £1,405. The judgment permits the respondent to pay the sums net of appropriate PAYE deductions if those deductions are vouched.

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.
