Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 12 April 2022 and the respondent did not present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore determined the case under Rule 21. The tribunal made findings in the claimant's favour on unauthorised deductions from wages and on breach of contract, and also held that the unfair dismissal claim succeeded.
On the wages claim, the tribunal declared that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions in relation to 3 weeks' wages for January 2022, bank holiday pay and overtime pay, and awarded £747.25 gross. It also awarded £573.30 gross for 7.8 days' accrued holiday. On the contract claim, the tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract and ordered damages of £2,425.50 for notice pay.
The unfair dismissal claim was upheld and the tribunal awarded a gross basic award of £3,638.00. It stated that no compensatory award was made in this Rule 21 judgment, and noted that if the claimant wished to pursue compensatory compensation, that issue would need to be determined at the hearing listed for 9 August 2022.

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.
