Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss K Russell's claims were heard at Cardiff before Employment Judge S Davies sitting alone. The respondent did not attend, so the hearing proceeded in its absence under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013. The tribunal upheld the claims that were before it and gave reasons orally at the hearing.
The tribunal upheld claims for unauthorised deduction from wages and awarded £500 gross for unpaid wages and £300 gross for unpaid holiday pay. It recorded that the claimant is responsible for any income tax or employee National Insurance contributions due on those sums.
The tribunal also upheld a breach of contract claim for unpaid notice pay. It awarded £4,011 net and a further £50.04 for financial loss, giving a total award of £4,861.04. The written record adds that an earlier oral figure of £500 for breach of contract was an error because it corresponded to gross rather than net weekly pay.

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.
