Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 24 June 2022. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, and neither side attended the 17 October 2022 hearing. Employment Judge Davies therefore determined the claim under rule 21 on the material before the tribunal.
The tribunal upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages in respect of unpaid wages of £718.31 net, 16.5 days' accrued holiday pay of £1,644.72 gross, and a guarantee payment of £150.00. It also found that the respondent was contractually entitled to lay the claimant off without wages, so the claim for wages during the lay-off period did not succeed.
The tribunal further found that the respondent breached the claimant's contract by deducting pension contributions from wages but not paying them into the pension. Damages of £898.20 were awarded for that breach. The total monetary award was £3,411.23.

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.
