Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 30 June 2022. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Davies determined the matter under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 after the hearing on 17 October 2022. The claimant and respondent did not attend the CVP hearing.
The tribunal upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages and awarded £1,049.60 for 8 days' accrued holiday. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed without notice in breach of contract and awarded £3,086.40 in lieu of 9 weeks' notice, calculated by reference to gross pay and reduced by wages received during the notice period.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had breached the contract by deducting pension contributions from wages but not paying them into the pension, and awarded £2,105.03 in damages. It found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded a redundancy payment of £7,708.50. The complaint that a guarantee payment had not been paid also succeeded, and £150.00 was awarded. The total awarded was £14,099.53.

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.
