Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Wales Employment Tribunals on 13 January 2023. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, so Employment Judge S Jenkins Date determined the matter under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment was sent on 13 June 2023 and the hearing listed for 23 June 2023 was cancelled.
The tribunal found that Goodhemp Ltd had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages. The judgment identified deductions from contractual pay for four periods of work and from statutory sick pay for three periods, and ordered payment of £1,877.85 gross in respect of that claim.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract as to notice and awarded £960 as damages for four weeks' notice pay. It further found that holiday pay had not been paid, noting that the claimant had taken no paid holidays in the two years before termination and was entitled to 5.6 weeks' holiday pay for 2021 and 2022; £2,688 gross was awarded for that head. The total sum payable was £5,525.85.

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.
