Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 5 December 2023 at Exeter by VHS, with the claimant appearing in person and no response entered by the respondent, Employment Judge Goraj held that the correct respondent was Chase Recruitment Group Limited, formerly Change Hospitality Hub Ltd, and dismissed the first respondent from the proceedings. The tribunal recorded that reasons were given orally and written reasons would not be provided unless requested. The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 were held not to apply.
The tribunal upheld the claimant’s holiday pay complaint. It found that the second respondent had made an unlawful deduction in respect of 5.83 days of accrued holiday pay and ordered payment of £343.97 gross, calculated at a daily rate of £59. The judgment identified this as a breach of section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The tribunal also recorded that the second respondent had failed to provide payslips for the period 6 April 2023 to 4 May 2023 as required by section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. In relation to that issue, the tribunal awarded £250 in respect of unnotified deductions pursuant to section 12 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The total award was therefore £593.97.

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.
