Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Bristol via CVP on 16 August 2023 before Employment Judge Boyce. The respondent did not attend. The tribunal gave full oral reasons at the hearing and directed that the total sum be paid within 14 days of the judgment being sent to the parties.
The tribunal found the claimant’s unpaid wages claim well founded and awarded £8,000.11 gross. That sum was made up of £1,966.67 for January 2023, £1,866.67 for February 2023 and £4,166.77 for March 2023. The judgment states that gross pay was used because the claimant was likely to be taxed on the payment.
The tribunal also found the claim for notice pay well founded and awarded £4,166.67 gross, representing one month’s contractual pay. In addition, it upheld the unlawful deduction from wages claim in relation to NEST contributions deducted in January, February and March 2023 and not paid into the claimant’s pension fund, awarding £437.61.
Finally, the tribunal found the redundancy claim well founded and awarded £3,488.05 net, described as the 5 weeks pay offered as voluntary redundancy. The combined total awarded was £16,092.44.

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.
