Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss S Hellings' claim against Sky Home Living Limited (formerly Kays Carers Ltd) was determined under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 because the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore made a determination on the papers without a listed hearing.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered payment of £549.50 gross. It also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £1,188 in damages, and it found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and awarded £1,033.89.
The total sum awarded was £2,771.39, and any listed hearing was cancelled. The judgment was sent to the parties on 17 January 2024.

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.
