Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Cardiff Employment Tribunal hearing on 5 March 2021, Employment Judge Cawthray recorded that, by consent, the respondent’s name was changed to Ventilation, Mechanical and Electrical Distributors Limited. The judgment then dealt with the claimant’s wage-related claims arising from the October 2020 pay period.
The tribunal upheld the complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages. It found that the respondent had failed to pay wages due for October 2020 and ordered it to pay Mr Phillips the gross sum of £921.48 in respect of the amount unlawfully deducted. The order stated that the respondent was entitled to make any deductions due for tax and national insurance purposes.
A separate claim for compensation under section 24(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was dismissed. The short judgment does not set out further reasons for that dismissal.
The holiday pay claim was dismissed following withdrawal by the claimant. The written record also notes that reasons had been given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in time.

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.
