Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningSitting at Cardiff by video on 19 January 2026, Employment Judge K Hunt found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages by failing to pay the national minimum wage at the appropriate rate for hours worked between April 2023 and November 2024. The respondent was ordered to pay the net sum of £6,910.96, with responsibility for any tax or National Insurance due on that sum.
A further complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was upheld in respect of the non-payment of statutory sick pay between 21 November 2024 and 15 March 2025. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £1,868, calculated as 16 weeks of SSP at £116.75 per week.
The holiday pay complaint was also well-founded: the respondent had failed to pay the claimant in accordance with regulation 14(2) of the Working Time Regulations 1998 in lieu of accrued outstanding leave on termination of employment. The respondent was ordered to pay the gross sum of £823.68 in respect of 9 days of accrued outstanding leave.

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.
