Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that the claimant's employer was the first respondent, RSK Transport Limited. The second and third respondents, HSS Transport Midland Limited and JSH Transport Limited, were not the claimant's employer and the claims against them were dismissed.
Against the first respondent, the Tribunal upheld three complaints. The complaint of unauthorised deductions from pay contrary to Part II of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well-founded in respect of the period 5 to 9 August 2024, and the first respondent was ordered to pay the gross sum of £836.50. The breach of contract complaint concerning unpaid nights out expenses for 5 to 8 August 2024 was also well-founded, with an award of £120.
The holiday pay complaint was upheld as an unauthorised deduction, and the first respondent was ordered to pay the gross sum of £1,146.64. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, with written reasons to follow only on request within 14 days.

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.
