Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Judge upheld the claimant's claim for unpaid holiday pay against Help in Homes Limited and awarded £344.09 gross. The claimant was an irregular hours worker entitled to a 12.07% uplift on hours worked, calculated on £12.50 per hour for 12 hours per week.
The respondent had not submitted a response form by the deadline. Under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules, the shareholder Mr Henry, who attended on the day, was not permitted to participate in the proceedings but was permitted to comment on the claimant's evidence; he stated he had no dispute with the claimant's claim in principle. The Tribunal noted an ongoing dispute between the shareholder and the company's resigned directors.

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.
