Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the claimant’s unlawful deduction from wages claim for unpaid wages between 25 March and 3 May 2019 was well founded and ordered payment of £1,440.40 gross, calculated as 160 hours at £9.00 per hour. It also upheld the unlawful deduction from wages claim for unpaid sick pay between 17 and 29 April 2019 and awarded £113.10 gross, using statutory sick pay of £94.25 a week and deducting three qualifying days.
The claimant’s breach of contract claim for non-payment of expenses between April and October 2018 succeeded. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £1,040, calculated as 26 weeks at £40 a week.
The tribunal dismissed as out of time the unpaid wages claims for July, September and November 2018, saying it had no jurisdiction to hear them. It also dismissed as out of time the holiday pay claims for 3 October 2018, 26 and 31 December 2018, and 1-3 January 2019. The separate claim for unpaid wages described as non-payment of paternity pay failed and was dismissed.

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.
