Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 4 April 2023. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Brace Date determined that a judgment could properly be entered under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The hearing listed for 10 August 2023 was cancelled.
The judgment records four separate heads of claim. It found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages, that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of unpaid notice pay, that she was dismissed by reason of redundancy, and that her holiday entitlement had not been paid.
The tribunal ordered Discovery Glass UK Limited to pay £2,490.88 gross for unauthorised deductions from wages, £1,957.65 net for breach of contract/unpaid notice pay, £233.50 as a redundancy payment, and £194.60 gross for unpaid holiday entitlement. The total award was £4,876.63. The judgment also states that the claimant is responsible for any income tax or national insurance contributions due on the sums awarded in respect of unpaid wages and unpaid holiday 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.
