Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The respondent did not attend. The tribunal found that Mrs J Parry's claims for unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, unlawful deduction of wages, holiday pay, failure to provide a written statement of terms and conditions, and failure to provide itemised pay statements all succeeded.

On unfair dismissal, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £437 and a compensatory award made up of £7,866 for 36 weeks' post-dismissal loss of earnings and £500 for loss of statutory rights. The tribunal added a 25% uplift because the respondent had failed to follow the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures.

The wrongful dismissal claim also succeeded. The tribunal recorded that two weeks' notice pay at £218.50 per week had been included in the unfair dismissal award and offset against that award, so no separate payment was ordered for the notice period. It separately ordered £48.50 for 5.1 hours' holiday pay accrued over the notice period.

The tribunal also ordered £266 for unpaid wages, made up of £133 for October 2022 and £133 for November 2022, £2,545.05 for holiday pay accrued and unpaid at termination, and £874 for failure to provide a written statement of terms and conditions. As to itemised pay statements, the tribunal made a declaration only that the respondent had failed to provide them in accordance with section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The judgment records a total award of £14,628.50.

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.
