Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Bristol Employment Tribunal on 18 July 2023. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 without a contested hearing.
On the papers, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages, had not paid pension contributions, had dismissed the claimant by reason of redundancy, and had failed to pay holiday entitlement. The judgment records each head of award separately and does not set out any further findings beyond the short rule 21 determination.
The tribunal ordered payment of £3,452.05 gross for unauthorised deductions from wages, £1,669.35 for unpaid pension contributions, £2,893.50 as a redundancy payment, and £945.20 for unpaid holiday entitlement. The total payable was £8,960.10.

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.
