Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Leeds Employment Tribunals on 25 January 2024. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge determined under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 that the claim could properly be decided on the papers. The hearing listed for 27 June 2024 was cancelled.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of the gross sum of £876.92. It further found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, and ordered payment of the gross sum of £3,166.67. The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of the gross sum of £1,023.08.
The judgment records that any tax or National Insurance payable on the sums awarded is the responsibility of the claimant. No separate basic or compensatory award structure is set out, and no findings on unfair dismissal or discrimination are made.

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.
