Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Nottingham on 6 August 2025 before Employment Judge L Brown. The claimant, Gavin Milnthorpe, appeared in person and the respondent, EM Recycling Limited, did not attend. The tribunal found the holiday pay complaint well-founded, concluding that the respondent had failed to pay for holidays accrued but not taken when the claimant's employment ended.
The tribunal also found a complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded. It held that deductions had been made during the period from 12 April 2024 to 2 March 2025 and ordered the respondent to pay £1,262.39, described as the net sum deducted. The judgment also ordered payment of a further £849.60 gross sum under the same complaint, noting that no payslip was available for that deduction and that it was therefore calculated gross.
On remedy, the judgment records a gross award of £849.60 for the holiday pay claim and, for the wages claim, awards of £1,262.39 net and £849.60 gross. The judgment states that the respondent is responsible for paying any tax or National Insurance by deducting it from the gross sums where applicable.

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.
