Mr P Yourgov v Proud Group Limited — 2025

The claimant, Mr P Yourgov, brought a claim for arrears of pay and outstanding holiday pay arising from an engagement with Proud Group Limited between 13 June 2024 and 26 July 2024. The respondent was in voluntary liquidation and had attempted to file a response through the liquidator, but the ET3 was rejected because it did not include an address. The tribunal therefore determined that the claim could properly be decided under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure and the claim succeeded.

On quantum, the tribunal discussed the claim with the claimant and noted a dispute about the amount owed. The claimant said he was engaged on a zero-hours contract and relied on a payslip showing that, up to 10 July 2024, he had worked 61 hours at £13 per hour and was owed £849.31. The claimant confirmed that this was the amount due and also confirmed that he did not work beyond 10 July 2024; 26 July 2024 was only the last date he was available to work.

The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered Proud Group Limited to pay £849.31 gross within 21 days of the judgment date. No separate breakdown between arrears of pay and holiday pay was set out in the judgment, and no other remedy was recorded.
