Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued because no response had been presented to the claim. On the available material, Employment Judge N Hosie determined that Cowies Limited had unlawfully withheld wages from Miss M McGillivray and ordered payment of £3,000 gross, calculated by reference to 250 hours at £12 per hour.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement. It ordered payment of £1,920, calculated on the basis of 160 hours at £12 per hour.
In addition, the tribunal held that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It awarded damages of £818.04, based on two weeks' notice at £409.02 per week. The judgment also provided that the respondent could deduct any required Income Tax and Employee National Insurance Contributions before payment, provided it remitted those sums to HMRC and gave written evidence of the deductions and remittance.

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.
