Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent, The Vocational Academy Essex Limited, did not attend the hearing. The tribunal recorded that it was satisfied the respondent had adequate notice of the claim and hearing, and it proceeded in the respondent's absence under Rule 47 of the 2013 Rules. The respondent name was amended to The Vocational Academy Essex Limited.
The tribunal found that the claimant's claim for unpaid wages from 1 October 2024 to 1 November 2024 was well founded and succeeded. It also found that the claim for breach of contract in relation to failure to pay notice pay was well founded and succeeded.
The claimant's claim for failure to pay accrued but untaken holiday on termination of employment was also found to be well founded and succeeded. The tribunal ordered payment of £1,247.69 for unpaid wages, £288.00 for notice pay, and £144.00 for holiday pay, making a total award of £1,679.69.

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.
