Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought a claim for unpaid annual leave against Peninsula Business Services Limited, contending that commission payments should have been included when calculating his holiday pay. The case was heard at Bristol on 13 February 2026 before Employment Judge Midgley sitting alone, with the parties having agreed the figure for unpaid annual leave if the claim succeeded.
The Tribunal held that the commission payable to the claimant was intrinsically linked to the performance of his contractual duties and so was to be treated as part of his 'pay' within the meaning of the Working Time Regulations and section 221(3) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claim for unpaid annual leave for the leave years 2022 to 2024 succeeded and the respondent was ordered to pay the agreed gross sum of £5,602.68.

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.
