Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented to the Watford Employment Tribunal on 19 August 2025. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Hyams decided under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure that the claim could properly be determined.
The tribunal found that the respondents had failed to pay the claimant wages within the meaning of section 27 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The unpaid wages comprised gross salary of £6,365.58 for the period from 1 April 2025 to 1 May 2025 inclusive and £3,000 by way of unpaid bonus.
All three respondents were held jointly liable for those sums, so satisfaction of the judgment by one respondent would satisfy it for all. The sums were ordered to be paid subject to deductions required to be paid to His Majesty's Customs and Revenue for income tax and national insurance.
The claimant's claim for unpaid pension contributions was dismissed because the tribunal held it was not within its jurisdiction. The judgment stated that the dismissal did not preclude the claimant from pursuing that claim otherwise.

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.
