Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Wales Employment Tribunals on 20 February 2024. 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. The judgment records that Ply-tek (UK) Limited (in administration) did not defend the claim, so the tribunal entered findings on the papers.
On the merits, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £1,867.11 gross. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. The notice damages were assessed at £2,967.48, less £1,649.60 earned from alternative employment during the notice period, leaving £1,317.88 payable.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £827.25. The total amount payable was £4,012.24. The judgment also states that the claimant is responsible for any tax and employee national insurance contributions.

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.
