Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal at Birmingham on 20, 21 and 24 August 2020, before Employment Judge Gaskell sitting alone, dismissed Mrs G Salmon's unfair dismissal claim. It found that she was fairly dismissed by Allied Health Services Limited and therefore the unfair dismissal complaint was not well-founded.
The tribunal also dismissed the claimant's complaint described in the judgment as direct discrimination on grounds of marital status under section 39 of the Equality Act 2010. No liability was found on that complaint.
The claimant's unlawful deduction of wages claim succeeded. The tribunal awarded £956.35 net, and the written note records that the sum was calculated net of income tax and national insurance, with a corresponding payment to HMRC to be made by the respondent. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, so no written reasons were provided unless requested.

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.
