Ms S Said Mr I Bojang
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal heard the case at Birmingham by CVP on 20 January 2021, with Ms Said and Mr Bojang appearing in person and the respondent not attending. It held that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the wages of both claimants contrary to section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Ms Said was awarded £1,037.68 gross and Mr Bojang was awarded £1,159.76 gross in respect of the wage deduction claims. Mr Bojang also succeeded on a breach of contract claim, and the Tribunal awarded him damages of £386.30 for that claim.
Mr Bojang's claims for unfair dismissal and for a statutory redundancy payment were both dismissed because he did not have 2 years' qualifying service. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be 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.
