Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs S Watson brought claims against SMC 2016 Limited for unlawful deduction of wages, accrued holiday pay and a statutory redundancy payment. The hearing took place at Birmingham on 10 February 2020 before Employment Judge Flood sitting alone. The respondent did not attend.
The tribunal found that the complaint of unlawful deduction of wages relating to 19 days unpaid wages was well founded and succeeded. It ordered the respondent to pay £700.40, and recorded that this sum was the gross amount, with the claimant responsible for any income tax and National Insurance Contributions on it.
The tribunal also found the claim for accrued holiday pay well founded and successful. It ordered payment of £776.25 in respect of 15 days accrued but untaken holiday pay, again on a gross basis.
In addition, the tribunal held that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £6,598.13. No separate findings on discrimination or other claims were recorded in the judgment, and no legal test was expressly cited in the short reasons provided.

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.
