Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Bristol Employment Tribunal on 29 and 30 June 2020, Employment Judge J Bax dismissed the claimant's unlawful deductions from wages claim. The tribunal accepted the holiday pay claim and ordered the respondent to pay £102 gross in respect of holiday pay.
The tribunal also found that the respondent automatically unfairly dismissed the claimant. The dismissal award was quantified at £4,847.50 and was broken down into a basic award of £1,530, a compensatory award of £2,817.50 for loss of earnings, loss of pension contribution and notice pay, and £500 for loss of statutory rights.
In addition, the tribunal found that the respondent dismissed the claimant without giving notice, in breach of contract. It recorded that the claimant was entitled to 2 weeks' notice pay of £808, but no additional award was made on that basis because notice pay had already been included in the compensatory award for unfair dismissal.

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.
