Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 22 judgment issued on the available material because no response had been presented. Employment Judge I McFatridge determined the claim without a hearing on the papers. The judgment records that the respondent was Tradess Ltd and the claimant was Ms CYN Ho.
The tribunal upheld a claim for unlawfully withheld wages and ordered payment of the gross sum of £812, calculated on the basis of 56 hours at £14.50 per hour. It also upheld a claim for unpaid holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £232, calculated on the basis of 16 hours at £14.50 per hour.
The judgment further records that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awards damages of one week's pay in the sum of £464, calculated as 32 hours at £14.50 per hour. A further contractual claim for agreed fuel expenses was upheld and £130 was ordered in that regard.
The judgment also states that the respondent may deduct income tax and employee National Insurance contributions, if required by law, before payment and remit those sums to HMRC. The balance then paid to the claimant would satisfy the judgment.

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.
