Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not file an ET3 response form. Employment Judge S Davies said there was sufficient material before the tribunal to make a proper determination and proceeded under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013.
The judgment records that the tribunal upheld unpaid wages of £1,050.58 gross, unpaid holiday pay of £5,882.68 gross, and an unauthorised deduction from wages of £7,800.00. It also records a basic award of £1,575.00. The judgment gives no written reasons beyond those outcome figures.
The judgment states that the claimant is responsible for any income tax or employee national insurance contributions due on the sums awarded for unpaid wages and unpaid holiday pay. No compensatory award, injury to feelings award, or interest is recorded in the judgment text.
Claims and outcomes
2 findings recorded| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unlawful deduction from wages | The judgment lists unpaid wages (gross) of £1,050.58, unpaid holiday pay (gross) of £5,882.68, and unauthorised deduction from wages of £7,800.00 as upheld sums. It does not separate those figures into distinct legal findings or give reasons, and it says the claimant is responsible for any income tax or employee national insurance due on the unpaid wages and holiday pay sums. | Upheld | — | £14,733 |
| Unfair dismissal | A basic award of £1,575.00 was awarded. The judgment does not expressly use the words 'unfair dismissal', but a basic award is recorded and treated here as the dismissal-related outcome. | Upheld | — | £1,575 |

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.
