Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal entered default judgment because the time for presenting a response had expired and no response had been received. On that basis, it found the first claimant's claim for unauthorised deductions from wages in respect of outstanding holiday pay well-founded and awarded her £140.29. It also found her breach of contract claim for notice pay well-founded and awarded £107.80 damages.
For the first claimant, the tribunal further uplifted those sums by £215.60, described as two weeks' pay, because the respondent failed to provide a written statement of employment particulars. The total due to the first claimant was therefore recorded as £463.69.
The second claimant's claim for unauthorised deductions from wages in respect of outstanding wages and holiday pay was also found well-founded, and she was awarded £416.49. Her breach of contract claim for notice pay was likewise well-founded, with damages of £123.15 awarded.
The tribunal uplifted the second claimant's sums by £246.30, also described as two weeks' pay, for failure to provide a written statement of employment particulars. The total due to the second claimant was recorded as £785.94. The hearing listed for 9 April 2020 was vacated.

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.
