Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningWestby Cleaning Services accepted that it owed Mr L Albanese outstanding wages of £149.63 gross for 10.5 hours of work at an hourly rate of £14.25. The Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay that agreed sum, with the claimant responsible for satisfying any tax liabilities on it.
The claim for a further £35.63, relating to 2.5 disputed hours, was dismissed. The Tribunal found that the claimant had produced no evidence supporting that part of the claim and that the documentary evidence showed he was owed pay for 10.5 hours rather than the 13 hours claimed.

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.
