Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented to the claim, so Employment Judge A Kemp issued a Rule 22 judgment on the available material. The tribunal found that the respondent had unlawfully withheld wages and ordered it to pay £2,924 gross, calculated by taking 566 hours at £14 per hour and deducting a £5,000 wage advance.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement. It ordered payment of £3,292.80 gross, calculated on the basis of 42 hours per week, 5.6 weeks’ holiday and an hourly rate of £14.
In addition, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to provide a statement of initial employment particulars and a written pay statement. It awarded £588 gross, described as one week’s pay under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002, and said there was no information before it to suggest it would be just and equitable to award the higher amount available under that section. The judgment also provided that the respondent could deduct tax and employee national insurance contributions required by law before paying the balance to the claimant.

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.
