Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place by CVP on 3 September 2020 before Employment Judge JM Wade. The respondent did not attend, although the Tribunal had a file of documents from it and had contacted the respondent by telephone and email. The Tribunal proceeded in the respondent's absence under Rule 47 because the relevant facts were not in dispute and the issues were limited to applying established legal principles.
The claimant's complaints of unlawful deduction from wages and failure to pay holiday pay on termination succeeded. The Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay gross sums of £96.15 for one day's holiday pay, £480.77 for five days' pay unlawfully deducted, and £19.24 gross pay unlawfully deducted in the use of a net sum in calculating notice pay. The total award was £596.16.
The claimant's separate claim for damages for breach of contract, based on lost earnings from another post he had turned down to accept work with the respondent, was dismissed. The Tribunal noted that the respondent's response had been misconceived as a defence to the unlawful deduction complaint, and that the lost-earnings claim was also misconceived.

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.
